‘We don’t want students causing trouble’: Trump on tussle with Harvard University

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump remain adamant on restricting Harvard University’s ability to enroll foreign students, stating that he doesn’t want “students who are causing trouble” in the country.

Trump also highlighted the administration’s tussle with Harvard University over the funding of the institution. “We want students, I want foreign students here… Our country has given Harvard $5 billion-plus over a short period of time. Nobody knew that; we found that out. I wouldn’t say that was a DOGE thing”, Trump said.

“We ended up in litigation for other reasons because they’re very anti-semitic. And in finding out and in going through the books, we found out that the country gave them $5 billion plus, much more than that, actually, and we’re having it out with them, and let’s see what happens. It’s a very sad case. It’s a case we win. We can’t lose that case because we have the right to make grants. We’re not going to make any grants like that, but I don’t think Harvard has been acting very nicely”, he added.
