Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says President Trump's "heart is in the right place" with his decision to remove all federal funding from the elite university.

Harvard University said the Trump administration’s ban on enrolling international students is already causing harm and spreading fear, even though a judge has temporarily barred the order from taking effect.

Harvard has sued the Trump administration after it revoked the university's ability to enroll international students.

The Trump administration asked federal agencies Tuesday to cancel contracts with Harvard University worth about $100 million, intensifying the president’s clash with the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university.

President Donald Trump has again trained his ire on Harvard University, accusing the school Monday of “judge shopping” in its legal battle with the White House and threatening to cut off $3 billion in federal grant funding over its handling of anti-Israel protests.

After Trump called for Harvard to block foreign students from enrolling, the school rebutted with free government affairs classes for all.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed hesitation toward imposing new sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, saying he did not want the penalties to interfere with getting a ceasefire.
