Trump administration pauses US visa appointments worldwide

US President Donald Trump's administration has ​issued a pause on visa appointments for applicants around the world during ‌an ongoing immigration crackdown by the US government in the Republican leader's second term in the White House, Reuters reported.

A US State Department spokesperson said on Tuesday that it launched a global training initiative at ​all US embassies and consulates worldwide and that appointments for visa services ​will be adjusted to accommodate the training.

Trump has pursued an aggressive deportation ⁠drive and immigration crackdown that includes revocations of visas and green cards and rejection ​of applications over a range of reasons like political opinions and pro-Palestinian protests.

He says the crackdown aims to improve domestic security.
