"US Press Freedom Under Fire: Trump Administration Slashes Visas for Foreign Journalists In a move that has sparked widespread concern over press freedom in the United States, the Trump administration has announced a drastic reduction in visa lengths for foreign journalists working in the country. Effective immediately, visas for journalists from around the world will be limited to just 240 days, a significant cut from the years-long stays that were previously standard. But the move has taken a particularly pointed aim at China, with visas for Chinese journalists now capped at a mere 90 days. The decision has been met with alarm from press freedom advocates, who fear it will have a chilling effect on the ability of journalists to report freely on the US, while China has warned of possible reciprocal countermeasures that could further restrict the work of American journalists in the country."
The Trump administration announced Thursday it will drastically shorten visas for foreign journalists in the U.S. to 240 days, down from years, and cut those for Chinese journalists to only 90 days, raising concerns over press freedom in the United States and prompting China to warn of possible reciprocal countermeasures.
