Trump Administration Reduces Foreign Journalist Visa Duration

17 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

The Trump administration has announced a significant reduction in the length of visas granted to foreign journalists, cutting the duration from five years to 240 days. Chinese journalists will face even stricter limitations, with their visas capped at just 90 days.
This new rule, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, eliminates the previous 'duration of status' system that allowed for longer stays based on eligibility criteria.
The announcement comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as broader concerns about media freedom and the treatment of foreign journalists.
This move appears to be part of a broader strategy to exert control over foreign media presence in the U.S., particularly targeting journalists from nations perceived as adversaries. By limiting the duration of their stay, the administration may aim to restrict foreign influence and narratives in American media.
