US suspends immigrant visa processing for 75 countries

Visa process suspension is President Donald Trump's latest move against foreigners seeking to come to America.

(AFP)

The United States said on Wednesday it was suspending the processing of immigrant visas from 75 countries, President Donald Trump’s latest move against foreigners seeking to come to America.

The United States has long rejected visas from people who appear likely to end up needing government welfare, but the State Department said it would now use the same authority for a blanket suspension of immigrant visas based on nationality.
