USA-based student athletes can now breathe a sigh of relief

The Donald Trump administration has backpedalled on its promise to strip visas of students whose classes are moving entirely online for the new school year.

Many Guyanese student athletes in the USA were worried about their status and having to return to the 592 after Trump’s administration announced earlier this month that international students who would not attend in-person classes would have their visas rescinded and subsequently deported.

“Good sense prevailed in the end” said Coach Julian Edmonds who has five USA based students competing in Track and Field on the collegiate circuit.
