Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a potential student's social media accounts may be considered when granting visas to international students.

The Trump administration is set to implement a policy requiring foreign students and exchange visitors to undergo in-person interviews at U.S. embassies or consulates before entering the country, as part of a broader effort to enhance vetting processes.

The new rule, effective from June 23, 2017, aims to close what the administration perceives as a security loophole, although it may lead to longer wait times for visa processing. Critics argue that this could deter international students and scholars from coming to the U.S., impacting educational and cultural exchanges.
