President Donald Trump said during a press conference at the Oval Office on Friday that he supports allowing international students on the campus of American universities, explaining that he is opposed to welcoming students who “cause trouble.”
Trump indicated that Harvard University, which was fire in both public opinion and courts, referred to nearly 30 % of its students.
“Our country has given $ 5 billion in addition to Harvard over a short period of time,” he said. “No one knew it. We found it. I will not say that this was [Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)] The thing, but we found it for a period of time, this was a kind of Tram. “

During the continuous litigation, which the president attributed to the fact that the university is “very hostile to Semitism”, the administration said that the government gave them more than 5 billion dollars in funding.
“We go out with them, and let’s see what is happening,” Trump said. “I think we have very good, well, it’s a very sad situation. It is an issue we win. We cannot lose this issue because we have the right to provide grants. We will not provide any such grants.”
He went on to say that Harvard was not behaving very well, “and he said that other institutions such as Colombia University in New York City” want to reach the bottom of the problem. ”

“They have acted very well, and there are other institutions, too, to act, but Harvard is trying to be a great opportunity,” Trump said. “And all that happens is every three days, we find another $ 100 million granted.”
Two days ago, the president said his administration had found an additional $ 200 million in granting Harvard.
“The money granted to them is like a broth,” he said.

Trump provides an alternative, he wants to see money heading towards creating the best commercial school system in the world.
“I would like to see money go to commercial schools where people learn how to fix engines and engines, as people learn how to build missile ships,” he said. “Because, as you know, someone must build these missile ships.”
“Yes”, Elon Musk, who left Dog on Friday, got rid of the Trump office.
“I would like to see the commercial schools created, because you may get 5 billion dollars in addition to hundreds of other billions, which is spent, and you can have the greatest commercial school system anywhere in the world, and this is what we need to build its missiles, robots and the things it does, and build many other things.”
He added that he went to school with their peers who could “fix the car engine better than anyone I have never seen” and “get rid of that blindfold.”
“They had the ability to do so, and they did well,” Trump said. “They have earned a lot of money. You know, it’s a very skilled job … I would like to see a lot of money entering commercial schools.
