US President Donald Trump speaks out about Harvard's ban on recruiting international students

This is the first statement from US President Donald Trump, after a federal judge temporarily suspended the ban.

"Why doesn't Harvard say that nearly 31% of their students come from other countries, some of which are not even friendly to the United States?," Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social.

These countries do not pay or contribute to the education of their students, nor do they intend to do so.

We want to know who those foreign students are, which is a reasonable request when we are giving billions of dollars in funding to Harvard, and Harvard is not transparent.

We want to know the names and nationalities of foreign students. Harvard has $52 billion in endowment funds, use that money and stop asking the government for more funding."

Earlier, on May 22, US Secretary of Homeland Security - Ms. Kristi Noem - officially announced the revocation of Harvard University's right to recruit foreign students. This decision makes the future of thousands of international students at Harvard uncertain.

Ms. Noem previously warned that she would revoke the right to recruit international students if Harvard refused to provide records related to cases of foreign students who violated the law or had extremist ideology, disruptive behavior, or violence on US soil.

The administration of US President Donald Trump is stepping up efforts to tighten the operations of universities in the US, aiming to restore discipline in theeducational environment and prevent widespread protests from reappearing.

The US government also requires schools to recruit and hire based on the actual abilities of students and faculty, instead of applying too many programs to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. According to the US government's assessment, these programs have been abused, leading to unfairness in recruitment and recruitment activities.

Many prestigious universities in the US are also being assessed by the US Government as lacking focus on training in practical majors, leading to a lack of effective contributions to the socio -economic development goals of the US. Therefore, the US Government has been cutting funding for a series of universities in the US.

For Harvard, the US government has frozen $9 billion in funding and canceled all research cooperation contracts signed with Harvard.

After heavy blows to Harvard's "financial health", US authorities want to "wipe out" the school's international students.

International students account for more than 25% of Harvard's total student population. They not only bring financial resources to Harvard, but are also an important driving force for the school's research and innovation activities.
