According to Brain Buxa, a senior official at the general consulate, counselor chief Charles Louama stated that United States universities are still welcoming students from abroad to study a variety of subjects.

Your Story says that Trump coming into power could be a matter of concern for foreign mainly Indian students. India is the second biggest contributor of students for higher studies in the U.S and in this way a huge contributor to the economy of America.
