Trump said on Tuesday that his administration
“wants nothing less than $500m from Harvard”
as a condition for restoring billions of dollars in federal funding to the Ivy League university.

“Don’t negotiate with them, they’ve been very bad,”
Trump told his education secretary, Linda McMahon, in a cabinet meeting.

Trump’s comments came amid reports that his administration and Harvard are moving toward a potential settlement
that could bring an end to their months-long battle over the government’s allegations that Harvard has not done enough to crack down on "antisemitism"
tied to pro-Palestinian protests.
