Harvard loses more than $2.2bn in government funds as it defies Trump
Monday, 14 April 2025 () The US government has frozen more than $2.2bn (£1.67bn) in funding for Harvard university after defied demands made by the Trump administration to curb protests on campus.
President Trump has escalated his campaign against Harvard University, freezing $2.2 billion in federal funding and threatening to revoke its tax-exempt status. The move follows accusations that Harvard has failed to control antisemitism on campus. Trump ally and spokesperson Karoline Leavitt questioned why taxpayer dollars continue to flow to the Ivy League institution despite its massive endowment. With the administration pushing for reforms, the standoff between Trump and America’s richest university could have sweeping implications for elite education and public accountability.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the controversial deportation of Maryland father Abrejo Garcia, asserting he was a known MS-13 gang member. Leavitt drew a stark comparison between Garcia’s case and the tragic Murder of Rachel Morin by another migrant, accusing Democrats of siding with dangerous individuals over public safety. The administration stood firm on its zero-tolerance immigration stance, sparking fierce backlash and reigniting the national debate on crime, immigration, and media bias.

Former U.S. President Barack Obama has praised Harvard University for rejecting the Trump administration’s controversial demands to reshape campus policies and student freedoms. As federal funding worth $2.2 billion is frozen, the standoff is intensifying debates over academic independence, civil rights, and political overreach. With elite campuses under fire, is this the beginning of a wider battle for university autonomy?

During a high-stakes White House meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Donald Trump publicly insulted CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, calling her a “low-rated anchor” as she pressed him on the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Trump mocked both Collins and CNN, claiming the network “hates our country” and “hides border data.” While Collins stayed firm, demanding accountability, Trump pivoted to attacking the media again—reviving his long-running feud. Bukele praised Trump’s border policy but sidestepped questions on returning Garcia. The moment highlights Trump’s ongoing war with the press.

President Trump has frozen over $2.2 billion in federal funding to Harvard University after it rejected White House demands targeting antisemitism on campus. The university refused sweeping changes that included federal oversight of governance, hiring, and admissions. Harvard's president argued the demands violated its independence and constitutional rights. The Biden-era push to enforce federal control through funding threatens academic autonomy. Harvard is the first to resist—while others like Columbia have already complied under pressure. Lawsuits are mounting as campus arrests intensify over pro-Palestinian protests nationwide.

The United States has greenlit a new shipment of over 3,000 powerful munitions to Israel, including MK-84 bombs tied to mass casualties in Gaza. The move comes as Tel Aviv signals a “vigorous expansion” of its assault on the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces have now surrounded Rafah and are advancing with major brigades. The humanitarian toll has surged, with thousands of Palestinians killed or injured. This arms transfer is part of a broader package aimed at reinforcing Israel's arsenal amid growing regional escalations, also involving Syria and Lebanon.

A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s inner circle over Russia’s intentions in the Ukraine war. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Keith Kellogg urge caution, Trump leans toward aide Steve Witkoff, who believes Moscow seeks peace. Witkoff’s meetings with Putin, including a recent 5-hour session, intensified the divide. Meanwhile, a deadly missile strike in Sumy triggered further controversy, with Trump calling it a "mistake" while others condemned it. Russia blames Ukraine for escalation and misinformation. As trust wanes, US foreign policy appears sharply divided.

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia marks a pivotal moment in Beijing’s bid to outmaneuver the U.S. in Southeast Asia. With Trump-era tariffs souring Washington's trade ties, Xi aims to convince Malaysia and ASEAN that China is the region’s best long-term partner. Touting deepened strategic ties, tech cooperation, and economic integration, Xi’s charm offensive leans into BRICS, RCEP, and de-dollarization plans. As Malaysia looks East, Beijing is pushing hard to anchor a new global order that trades in renminbi—and trades away American dominance.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a strong warning to China, stating that the "ball is in China's court" amidst rising tensions and escalating tariffs. America's tariffs on Chinese goods have reached 145%, while China retaliates with 125% tariffs on U.S. imports. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that while the U.S. is open to negotiations, China must take the first step. This conflict, sparked by trade practices and the fentanyl issue, has deepened since Trump’s administration took office, with both countries facing significant economic consequences.

The U.S. and Iran are quietly resuming indirect nuclear talks in Oman, the first serious engagement since the 2015 deal collapsed. Ayatollah Khamenei confirmed the dialogue but expressed deep skepticism, stating, “We are pessimistic about the other side.” President Trump, who dismantled the original deal in his first term, has renewed sanctions and issued fresh warnings of military action if Iran refuses to negotiate. Despite positive framing by both sides, Tehran stresses these talks remain indirect and cautious. Tensions remain high, and trust is nowhere in sight.
