'Set An Example': Obama Fights Trump's 2.2Bn Crackdown On Harvard University | U.S Campus Crackdown
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?

In a fiery interview, President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of being the “mastermind” behind the infamous Russiagate conspiracy—a plot Trump says was fabricated to destroy his presidency. Citing newly declassified documents from Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, Trump claimed Hillary Clinton and top Obama-era officials coordinated a disinformation campaign to link him to Russia.
He alleged that Obama not only approved the plan but “pushed it,” fueling what he called the “biggest scandal in American history.” Trump criticized Clinton but noted he chose not to prosecute her after winning in 2016—an act he now regrets. The documents, released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Chuck Grassley, reportedly expose links between Clinton operatives and George Soros-funded groups, alongside FBI involvement. Trump insisted he wouldn’t interfere with legal proceedings, leaving the decision on indictments to AG Pam Bondi. The revelations mark a potential political earthquake in the run-up to 2025.

President Donald Trump has officially brought back the original Presidential Fitness Test for American public schools. The test, which includes pull-ups, push-ups, a one-mile run, a shuttle run, and flexibility drills, was discontinued in 2012 by President Obama in favor of a less intense health-focused program. Now, over a decade later, Trump says it's time to "make America fit again" — but not everyone agrees.
Is this a return to discipline — or outdated physical pressure for kids? We break it all down.

In a dramatic twist to global nuclear politics, U.S. President Donald Trump has signalled renewed interest in resuming talks with Russia to extend the landmark New START treaty, set to expire in February 2026. Speaking before his trip to Scotland, Trump warned that letting the nuclear treaty lapse would be “a big problem.” The New START deal, inked in 2010 by Obama and Medvedev, limits strategic nuclear warheads and their delivery systems. With the U.S. having previously pulled out of key pacts like the INF and Open Skies treaties during Trump’s first term, the possibility of fresh negotiations has stunned many observers. The Kremlin welcomed dialogue, but emphasized that trust must be rebuilt first—signaling that talks won’t be easy. As global tensions simmer, could this be Trump’s move to reboot U.S.-Russia ties—or a bold bid to shape the world order again?

US President Donald Trump has delivered a blunt message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ahead of their White House meeting. Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions and accept the loss of Crimea if it truly wants peace with Russia. The ultimatum comes just days after Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin, which he admitted brought “little progress” toward ending the war. With Zelensky under mounting pressure and European allies resisting Trump’s terms, Washington is bracing for a high-stakes clash that could reshape the future of the Ukraine war.

U.S President Trump refused to lower tariffs for the European Union, finalizing a major trade deal that locks in a flat 15% duty on most EU imports. When asked if he could offer a “better” rate, Trump snapped: “Better? Meaning lower? No.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to smile through the awkward moment, securing zero tariff relief despite a last-minute scramble to strike a deal at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland.
The EU, in return, agreed to $750 billion in U.S. energy purchases—but walked away with no concessions, no exemptions, and plenty of political pressure at home. Was this a win for stability or a one-sided surrender?

U.S President Donald Trump publicly humiliated European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen during a high-stakes trade announcement in Scotland. From mocking wind power — “Windmills are a scam!” — to refusing any EU tariff relief, Trump dominated the press conference, calling out Ursula for “not taking notes” and blasting the EU’s climate and immigration failures.
Despite the EU’s hopes for a softer deal, Trump slammed them with a 15% tariff, compared their policies to “a con job,” and left Ursula visibly stunned. With no concessions secured, the EU leader stood by awkwardly as Trump delivered blow after blow in front of a global audience.

Harvard University faces a billion-dollar hit as the Trump administration freezes $2.6 billion in research funds, hikes taxes on its endowment, and pushes a 15% cap on international student enrollment. The school warns of massive layoffs, halted hiring, and deep cost-cutting to survive. President Alan Garber calls the changes “disruptive and painful,” as tensions escalate over allegations of antisemitism and political bias. With international students at risk and Harvard’s finances strained, America’s richest university finds itself at the center of a high-stakes political battle.
