US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said visas are not a right and can be withdrawn. Speaking in Budapest, he said no one is entitled to a US visa. He added that a visa is only permission to enter the country. Rubio warned that visas will be revoked if visitors act against US national security or interests. The policy applies to students, tourists and journalists. Last month, the US paused immigrant visa approvals for nationals of 75 countries. A group of lawyers and advocacy groups has challenged the order in a federal court in New York. (PC: AFP)
