Washington, 21 October. The US State Department confirmed that more than 300,000 visas have been revoked since Donald Trump returned to the White House.

"300,000+ visa revocations and counting. Our message to visa holders is simple: respect our laws or lose the privilege of traveling to the United States," said Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Mora Namdar. Revoking a visa means a foreigner loses the right to enter or remain in the US, even if the visa was issued earlier.

What it means: During Trump's second term the US has withdrawn hundreds of thousands of entry permits from foreigners as part of a tough immigration policy.

Who benefits: The policy delivers on Trump's promises to his voters to restrict migration; the losers are foreigners whose visas are revoked.

Background: Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
