Boston: The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said his administration can reach a “historical” agreement with Harvard University in the next week to resolve the White House campaign against the oldest and rich university in the country.

The possible agreement occurs since both parties remain blocked in a legal battle on the cuts and restrictions of funds for international students. Trump suggested that conversations with the university are going well and that an agreement could be announced soon.

In a publication on its social media platform, Truth Social, Trump raised the possibility of an agreement with the Ivy League Institution, which has filed a lawsuit after its administration reduced billions of dollars in subsidies to Harvard and moved to prevent the university from admitting international students.

The administration of the Republican President said that his actions against Harvard were justified by a variety of accusations, including the statements that the university had not done enough to address anti -Semitic harassment on campus.

Trump said his administration is going to “irregularities” in Harvard. He added that university people “have acted extremely appropriate during these negotiations and seem committed to doing the right thing.”

“If an agreement is made on the basis that is currently being discussed, it will be historical” amazingly “historical and very good for our country,” Trump wrote.

He made the statement shortly after a federal judge in Boston issued a court order that blocked the United States National Security Department to immediately revoke Harvard’s ability to register international students.

This court order prevents the department from reviving Harvard certification in the student and exchange visiting program without first submitting to an administrative process of months, which now plans to follow.

Harvard did not make immediate comments on Trump’s post, but said in a statement that he welcomed the order of the United States District Judge Allison Burroughs, and added that “he will continue to defend his rights, and the rights of his students and academics.”

Harvard, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has filed two demands to defrost around $ 2.5 billion in funds and to prevent the administration from blocking international students to attend the university.

Harvard alleges that Trump is taking reprisals against him, violating his rights of freedom of expression under the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States, because he refused to fulfill the attempts of the administration to influence the government, the curriculum and the ideology of his staff and students.

Judge Burroughs is expected to govern in the next few days in Harvard’s related application to continue blocking the implementation of a proclamation signed by Trump, which prohibits foreigners from entering the US. Uu. Uu. To study at the University.

International students represent about a quarter of the Harvard student body.
