Trump demanded Harvard reduce foreign student enrollment and provide their names, claiming no foreign government funds the school and threatening to reconsider U.S. grants.

Harvard, among dozens of universities under investigation for alleged civil rights violations related to anti-Semitic harassment, faces reviews of its federal contracts and grants totaling billions. The administration has threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status, halted new federal research funding, and initiated legal battles, with Harvard suing the government over these actions. The ongoing conflict highlights a broader effort to challenge elite universities’ policies and funding under Trump’s leadership.

Trump Administration Bars Harvard From Enrolling Foreign Students. What It Means? | N18G

The Trump administration has revoked Harvard University's certification to enroll international students, citing concerns over alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party, fostering antisemitism, and inciting violence. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the termination of Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), forcing the university to stop admitting new international students and requiring current foreign students to transfer or lose legal status.

Romanian Presidential Elections| A Trump-Style Nationalist Challenge To The EU| N18G

Romania's presidential election began with the first round on Sunday, where hard-right eurosceptic George Simion emerged as a leading candidate. Simion, 38, opposes military aid to Ukraine and is critical of the EU, aligning himself with Donald Trump’s "Make America Great Again" movement. Leading in the polls with around 30%, Simion still needs over 50% to avoid a run-off on May 18. The election follows the cancellation of a previous attempt in November, which was marred by alleged Russian interference in favor of far-right candidate Calin Georgescu, now banned from running. Simion’s main rivals are two centrists—Crin Antonescu, backed by the current pro-Western government, and independent candidate Nicusor Dan, who supports the EU and NATO. Political analysts warn that a Simion victory could isolate Romania, hurt its economy, and destabilize NATO’s eastern flank, especially amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
