  "summary": "The Trump administration is set to revoke up to 200,000 business and tourism visas held by foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum in the United States. This would mark the largest single mass revocation of visas in U.S. history and could face legal challenges. The revocations will be coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security and are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, according to State Department documents and two US officials. While the exact number of visas affected is not yet known, the move is part of a broader trend of increased restrictions on visa applicants under the current administration.",
