The Trump administration has directed visa officials to consider conditions such as diabetes, cancer, neuroses, and obesity as grounds for denying entry.
This information was reported by the Washington Post, citing internal documents from the State Department.
"Certain medical conditions, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer, diabetes, metabolic and neurological disorders, as well as mental health issues, may require care costing hundreds of thousands of dollars," the document states.
