Trump’s international student crackdown kicked off a domino effect that could shave nearly $500 billion off the economy

The Trump administration's policies on international students have sparked a significant shift that could reduce the U.S. economy by nearly $500 billion. With half of America's STEM PhD workers being foreign-born, a crucial talent pipeline is now at risk of drying up. This crackdown not only threatens the future of STEM fields but also impacts the broader economy, as skilled international students bring innovation and growth. The potential long-term consequences highlight the importance of maintaining an open and welcoming environment for global talent.
