President Trump said Monday he is considering stripping federal grants from Harvard University and reallocating them to trade schools across the country.

The Trump administration recently zeroed in on blocking Harvard from enrolling international students, while accusing the Ivy League school of fostering antisemitism and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party.

“I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social. “What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!”

The Department of Homeland Security told Harvard last week that it could no longer enroll international students. It said the thousands of current students must transfer elsewhere or leave the country entirely.

Harvard challenged the move in court, and a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke the university’s ability to host international students.

Last week, Homeland Security Secretary Kirsti Noem said Harvard was being punished for “pro-terrorist conduct.”

“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments,” Ms. Noem said. “Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.”

“Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country,” the secretary said.

Universities that enroll foreign students must register with Homeland Security’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program. Schools are supposed to follow certain guidelines to ensure that only legitimate students are admitted and gain entry to the U.S.

In a separate post on Monday, Mr. Trump said the administration is waiting on Harvard to provide a list of foreign students “so that we can determine, after a ridiculous expenditure of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, how many radicalized lunatics, troublemakers all, should not be let back into our Country.”

“The best thing Harvard has going for it is that they have shopped around and found the absolute best Judge (for them!) — But have no fear, the Government will, in the end, WIN!” he posted.
