Trump Administration Reportedly Near Deal With Harvard

The move comes amid months of tensions between the president and Ivy League school after he accused Harvard of tolerating antisemitism.

President Trump said that his administration is near to reaching a deal with Harvard University.

The proposed agreement includes a $500 million payment from Harvard that would be used to create “a series of trade schools that would be run by Harvard.”

Trump described it as an investment to revive trade schools and produce workers for american plants. He said, “they’re going to be teaching people how to do AI and lots of other things.”

The move comes amid months of tensions between the president and Ivy League school after he accused Harvard of tolerating antisemitism.

A deal would open the door to a resolution of sanctions that have included cuts to more than $2 billion in Harvard’s research grants, losses of federal contracts, and efforts to cut off the school’s ability to enroll foreign students.

Harvard has not yet commented on the deal.
