Trump claims Harvard ready to make deal on ‘largescale improprieties’ — after judge rules against admin

President Trump said Friday that Harvard is willing to make a deal after his administration blocked more than $3 billion in federal funding over the school’s refusal to share lists of international students or make policy changes in response to allegedly antisemitic protests.

Trump posted the message after a federal judge on Friday blocked the administration from cutting off Harvard’s ability to host international students — with the president justifying that move in part by proposing a new 15% cap on foreign students.

“Many people have been asking what is going on with Harvard University and their largescale improprieties that we have been addressing, looking for a solution,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“We have been working closely with Harvard, and it is very possible that a Deal will be announced over the next week or so. They have acted extremely appropriately during these negotiations, and appear to be committed to doing what is right.”

Trump added: “If a Settlement is made on the basis that is currently being discussed, it will be ‘mindbogglingly’ HISTORIC, and very good for our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Harvard’s media relations office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Trump, who has suggested that Harvard use some of its $53.2 billion endowment to offset the loss of taxpayer funds, has engaged in a broad battle with colleges over anti-Israel protests.

In April, the president also ordered colleges to disclose gifts and contracts from foreign countries topping $250,000 or lose federal funding.
