Parents rethink children’s US studies after Trump elected new president
Vietnamese parents are worried about sending their children to the US to study because of US President-elect Trump’s attitudes toward immigration. Tran Hoang Hoa, a parent in Hanoi, said she and her husband have reconsidered their plan to send the daughter to the US for university. “We have been preparing for overseas study for many years,” she said. “My daughter has been aware of the challenges she would have to face in the US. Meanwhile, we have VND2 billion in bank accounts for funding for the study.” “However, we suddenly have to rethink about the plan as Donald Trump has been elected the new US President,” she said. Hoa and many other Vietnamese parents might have read the news about concerns among the Vietnamese community in the US about racism. Emdep.vn reported that Vietnamese students in the US and the community of people of color were worried amid the risk of being attacked by groups of white men said to support the President-elect Donald Trump.
