May 27, (THEWILL) – The Donald Trump administration has ordered all U.S. embassies to stop scheduling interviews for student visas.

According to a diplomatic cable obtained by POLITICO, the Government is considering social media vetting among other measures for foreign applications.

The report, however, added that interviews that have already been scheduled can go ahead.

The directive, laid out on Tuesday by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, marks the latest effort by the Trump administration to restrict foreign students’ entry to American schools over claims that they might threaten US national security or promote antisemitism.

“Effective immediately, in preparation for an expansion of required social media screening and vetting, consular sections should not add any additional student or exchange visitor (F, M and J) visa appointment capacity until further guidance is issued”, Rubio said, adding that the guidance is expected in the coming days.
