Saudi military trainees can still lawfully enter the US for classroom tutoring during a Pentagon security stand-down following a deadly shooting by a foreign student at a naval station in Florida last week, a Defense Department spokesman said today.
The news from Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman comes after Trump ally Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., asked the Defense Department at a hearing Wednesday to answer whether Saudi students could continue to come to the United States after last week’s shootings, which left three sailors dead and wounded eight.
