The United States has revoked over 100,000 visas in 2025, marking one of the largest visa crackdowns in recent years. According to the State Department, the cancellations include 8,000 student visas and 2,500 specialised work visas, many linked to criminal cases or visa violations.  

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to the global trading system, signaling a 25&#37 tariff on any country that continues commercial ties with Iran. The threat, described by Trump as “final,” has sent ripples through international markets despite the absence of a formal executive order or legal framework. Washington has indicated that trade penalties could be imposed immediately on nations doing business with Tehran, even as questions mount over how such a policy would be enforced. Analysts note that the economic burden of the proposed tariffs would largely fall on U.S. importers, given Iran’s long-standing status under international sanctions. WATCH
