Trump Abolishes Green Card Lottery After Shootings, Citing National Security Threat

• US President Donald Trump immediately canceled the 'Diversity Visa Program', also known as the Green Card Lottery.
• The decision was made following shooting incidents at Brown University and MIT, where the perpetrator, Claudio Neves Valente, entered the US via the lottery in 2017.
• The Diversity Visa program annually issued 50,000 Green Cards to citizens from countries with historically low US immigration rates.
• Trump has consistently criticized the system, arguing it lacks proper vetting and poses a threat to national security.
• Indians are largely unaffected as India is already ineligible for the lottery, but broader visa tightening by the Trump administration raises concerns.

Why It Matters: Trump ends Green Card Lottery due to security concerns after shootings, signaling major US immigration shifts.
