American dreams are shattering for international students after the U.S. suspended entry for foreign nationals seeking to study at Harvard University. The six-month freeze, announced by former President Donald Trump on June 4, has sparked outrage among global scholars—including South Korea’s Yoon-ji, who called the move a betrayal of America’s promise as a 'land of opportunity.'
🎓 'I used to admire the U.S. for its openness,' said Yoon-ji, whose plans to study abroad now hang in limbo. 'But this decision feels like a political game—and we’re the pawns.' The policy, tied to an escalating dispute between Trump and Ivy League institutions, has left thousands questioning the future of cross-cultural education.
🌐 The backlash highlights growing tensions over globalization and youth mobility. 'How can the U.S. champion innovation while shutting doors to talent?' asked one student activist on Twitter. With visa applications frozen and trust eroding, many are urging policymakers to prioritize education over politics.
💡 For young professionals like Yoon-ji, the stakes are personal: 'This isn’t just about visas—it’s about whether the world can still collaborate across borders.'
