Trump Threatens To Revoke $3B in Harvard Grants To Give to Trade Schools

President Donald Trump has threatened to take away $3 billion in federal grants from Harvard University and redirect the money to trade schools, escalating a months-long battle with the Ivy League institution.

"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," Trump posted Monday on his social media platform, Truth Social. "What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!"

Newsweek reached out to Harvard for comment on Monday.

The move is the latest in a series of attacks by Trump and his administration against Harvard. Last week, the government barred the university from enrolling foreign students and previously froze more than $2.2 billion in federal grant money and $60 million in contracts.
