US Prioritizes Visas For Fans Traveling For The World Cup, Olympics And Other Events

(AP) — The Trump administration has instructed U.S. embassies and consulates around the world to prioritize visa applications from foreigners wishing the visit the United States to either invest in America or attend the 2026 World Cup, 2028 Olympics and other major sporting events.

The administration also has added new criteria for highly skilled foreign workers seeking a particular visa.

The new rules would deny entry to applicants deemed to have directed or participated in the censorship of American citizens on social media through content moderation initiatives that have sprung up throughout Europe and elsewhere to combat extremist speech.

The steps were outlined in cables sent this week to all U.S. diplomatic missions and obtained by The Associated Press.
