The United States government is reportedly considering a sweeping measure to cancel as many as 200,000 tourist and business visas currently held by foreign citizens. Should this policy be implemented, it would mark the most extensive mass revocation of travel documents in American history. The proposed cancellations specifically target B-1 business and B-2 tourist visas that US authorities have issued over the course of the last ten years.
