'I could tell them I don't want any students but...': Trump on accepting 500,000 Chinese students in US

US President Donald Trump spoke about accepting 500,000 Chinese students in the US at a time when his administration has cracked the whip on even legal immigration, and said it's a very insulting thing to say to a country that "I don't want any students". These are good students and US will give them Green Card, Trump said adding that it's not only about China but students from other countries too.

"As far as the students, it's 500,000 students. They come, good students. I could tell them, "I don't want any students." It's a very insulting thing to say to a country. They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China. But if you don't have those students—good students, by the way—if you don't... and we do another thing, you know, if they're good and they want to stay in America, we will give them a green card and things like that. I'm, you know, and that's not only them but other countries," Trump said to Sean Hannity in his interview for Fox News.
