Trump Freezes $2bn Harvard Funding After University Defies White House Antisemitism Demands

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.

US- China Trade War: Trump Shuts Doors on Diplomacy, Demands Face-Off With Xi Amid Trade War Heat [Video]

US- China Trade War: Trump Shuts Doors on Diplomacy, Demands Face-Off With Xi Amid Trade War Heat

US President Donald Trump is reportedly shutting down all informal diplomatic channels with China, insisting on direct talks with President Xi Jinping as the US-China trade war deepens. According to Politico, Trump has not authorized White House delegates, hasn’t appointed a lead diplomat, and bypassed the Chinese embassy entirely. With tariffs soaring—145% on Chinese goods and 125% retaliation from Beijing—Trump is said to be using tariff negotiations to pressure allies into isolating China further. Beijing has warned it will retaliate against any such moves made at its expense. #Trump #XiJinping #USChinaTensions #TradeWar #ChinaTariffs #TrumpTradePolicy #XiJinpingNews #PoliticoReport #ChinaRetaliation #USPolitics #DiplomaticStandoff #GlobalTrade #TariffBattle #BreakingNews #TrumpXiTalks #ChinaEmbassy #USChinaRelations #BackchannelBlocked #Geopolitics #EconomicWar Also Read Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc New Satellite Images Reveal China’s Growing Nuclear Submarine Fleet Near Qingdao :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-satellite-images-reveal-china-s-growing-nuclear-submarine-fleet-near-qingdao-4126257.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Harvard University Lawsuit Challenges Trump Funding Freeze, Calls $2.2B Block ‘Unlawful’ | Details

Harvard University lawsuit targets the Trump administration over a federal funding freeze exceeding $2.2 billion. The prestigious institution has taken legal action in Massachusetts federal court, calling the move "unlawful" and an attack on academic independence. Trump’s government alleges campus antisemitism and is pushing universities to meet ideological demands. Harvard argues the funding block is politically motivated and violates the First Amendment. Other elite universities are also under pressure, but none have taken as bold a stance. This legal battle could redefine academic freedom and federal authority in the U.S. #HarvardLawsuit #TrumpVsHarvard #FundingFreeze #AcademicFreedom #USPolitics #CampusProtests #HarvardNews #TrumpAdministration #UniversityAutonomy #FederalFunding #StudentProtests #DiversityDebate #FirstAmendment #UnlawfulFreeze #HigherEducation #CollegesUnderFire #LegalBattle #EducationRights #MassachusettsCourt #AcademicIndependence Also Read Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc Raghav Chadha Gets Harvard Call, Nidhi Razdan's Parody Account Chips In: 'Ache Se Mail Check Karle Bhai' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/raghav-chadha-gets-harvard-call-nidhi-razdans-parody-account-chips-in-ache-se-mail-check-karle-b-4088399.html?ref=DMDesc

Trump & Biden Seated Side-by-Side at Pope Francis’s Funeral? Awkward Tension and Cold Stares in Rome [Video]

Trump & Biden Seated Side-by-Side at Pope Francis’s Funeral? Awkward Tension and Cold Stares in Rome

In what’s shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City — and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience. While the Vatican has yet to release official details, past papal funerals, like that of Pope John Paul II, give insight into the protocol and seating hierarchy. With over 130 country delegations and several monarchs in attendance, this funeral will not only be a spiritual event but also a powerful display of global diplomacy — and underlying political tension. #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpVsBiden #VaticanLive #Rome2025 #WorldLeaders #PapalFuneral #TrumpBidenTension #PopeFrancis #FuneralSeatingChart #GlobalPolitics #AwkwardMoment #CatholicChurch #DiplomaticDrama Also Read How And Where Will Pope Francis Be Buried? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-and-where-will-pope-francis-be-buried-4130499.html?ref=DMDesc Cyril Ramaphosa Extends Condolences on the Passing of Pope Francis at Age 88 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-african-president-ramaphosa-condolences-pope-francis-passing-011-4130473.html?ref=DMDesc Pope Francis: A 'Pro'-LGBTQ Progressive Pontiff Who Inspired Many While Unsettling Traditionalists :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pope-francis-a-pro-lgbtq-progressive-pontiff-who-inspired-many-while-unsettling-traditionalists-4130129.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.103~

Pope’s Funeral: Trump to Get ‘Humiliating’ Third-Row Seats at Funeral as Royals Take Front Row

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francis’ funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third row—behind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement “humiliating,” especially after Trump had mocked Biden’s 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trump’s past remarks. #DonaldTrump #MelaniaTrump #PopeFrancisFuneral #TrumpNews #VaticanFuneral #WorldLeaders #USPolitics #Royals #SeatingSnub #HumiliatingMoment #FuneralSeating #InternationalProtocol #TrumpVsBiden #PopeFuneral #TrumpMelania #TrumpMocked #RoyalProtocol #BidenFuneralSeating #TrumpVaticanVisit #TrumpInternational Also Read ‘I Am Close To India, Pakistan...': US President Donald Trump On Pahalgam Terrorist Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-am-close-to-india-pakistan-donald-trump-on-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-4135507.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.121~

Israel REJECTS Long-Term Ceasefire, Claims Hamas Would Use Truce to
 | Israel- Gaza War | Netanyahu

Israel has firmly rejected a proposed five-year ceasefire with Hamas, calling it a cover for the group to rearm. The Arab-mediated proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, reportedly included the release of Israeli hostages. But Israeli officials insist Hamas’ long-term intentions remain hostile. Hostage families criticized the government’s stance, calling it planless. With Israel resuming attacks on Gaza, the humanitarian crisis deepens. Over 51,000 Palestinians have died since October 7. As the war escalates, hopes for peace remain elusive amid growing international concern over Gaza’s worsening conditions. #Israel #Hamas #GazaWar #Ceasefire #TruceRejected #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #HostageCrisis #IDF #Palestine #Egypt #Qatar #WarInGaza #HamasCharter #IsraelHamasWar #October7Attack #GazaBombing #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaBlockade #PeaceDealFail Also Read Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~
