“I think they should have a cap of about 15 percent, not 31 percent. We have people who want to go to Harvard and other schools, [but] They cannot meet because we have foreign students, “Trump told reporters at the Oval Office of the White House.Last month, the Trump administration freed Harvard to $ 2.2 billion in federal funding. Last week, it also stopped the university’s ability to enroll international students. The leaders of Harvard did these tasks after addressing the government requests to address antisemental incidents and share the list of foreign students with federal officials.“Harvard is treating our country with great insults,” said Trump. “I want Harvard to be great again.”Trump also suggested to transfer federal money away from Harvard and give it to trade schools. Harvard has reported that 27.2 percent of its student body is international for 2024-2025 academic year.“They are taking $ 5 billion and I will see that the money goes to trade schools. And by the way, they are completely anti -social in Harvard, as you know, and some other colleges, also in all fairness, and it is exposed, very exposed,” Trip said.

And I think it’s ridiculous. ,Trump said: “Everyone is coming to me,” We love the idea of trade schools, with that kind of money … You can have the best trade schools anywhere in the world. “President Donald Trump has raided against Harvard, making it hot for liberalism and antismitism. The school sued the administration on 21 April for changes in the leadership, governance and admission policies of the university. Since then, the administration has reduced the school’s federal funding, transferred to the enrollment of international students and threatened its tax-free situation.
