The Trump administration has ordered a freeze on all new student visa interviews at U.S. embassies and consulates, as it weighs a plan to require foreign applicants to undergo social media vetting, officials told the Associated Press.

The cable, dated Tuesday and signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, outlines the forthcoming shift in vetting procedures. The Trump administration is also considering a policy that would require all foreign students applying to study in the United States to undergo social media screening.
