Interest in studying in the United States by international graduate students plummeted by more than 40% since the first week of January 2025, when the Republicans took control of the US Senate and House of Representatives, and the nation prepared for the the inauguration of US President Donald J Trump on 24 January, data released to University World News by StudyPortals shows. This decline is all the more dramatic because, according to a study released last November by NAFSA: Association of International Educators, international enrolment at American colleges and universities had risen 6.6% from 2023 to 2024 and 11.5% the year before that.
