Washington: US President Donald Trump said Thursday he planned to suspend migration from what he called "third world countries," a day after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard soldiers in Washington.

"I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover," Trump wrote on social media.

He also threatened to reverse "millions" of admissions granted under his predecessor Joe Biden, and to "remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States."
