Spain announced on Tuesday that it has granted international students who had been prohibited from studying in the US by President Donald Trump’s administration accelerated access to its colleges.
According to a statement from the Migration Ministry, students who are unable to finish their education in the United States because of visa suspensions will have the option to transfer to Spain. According to the ministry, the visas will also permit the students to work part-time.
Following widespread student demonstrations in support of Palestinian rights during the Gaza War, Trump has clashed with a number of prestigious US universities, accusing them of turning into antisemitic bastions. Several European countries have increased research funds to recruit talent as a result of his conflict with Harvard, where he has suspended money for probes and threatened to revoke its tax-exempt status.
