President Trump praised Harvard for acting “extremely appropriately” in negotiations, suggesting a deal may be announced soon. This follows a judge blocking Trump’s attempt to ban international students.

Harvard had sued the administration over revoked student visas and frozen funds, calling the actions retaliation for rejecting government control. Talks continue, though no deal is finalized.

A judge extended an injunction protecting Harvard's international students. They make up 27% of its 2024–25 enrollment. Education Secretary McMahon said Harvard is making progress on antisemitism issues.
