Still in the publication, Trump called the institution “strongly anti-Semitic”. Trump seeks $1 billion in compensation from Harvard Reproduction/Truth Social Trump’s post is linked to an article published by the American newspaper The New York Times. According to the vehicle, the president had retreated from a demand for payment of US$200 million to resolve the conflict between the university and the government. “Strongly anti-Semitic Harvard University has been feeding the decadent The New York Times a lot of nonsense,” Trump said. The president also cites a part of the report in which he says that some people linked to the university believe that Harvard should close a deal with Trump. “As the bankrupt The New York Times clearly stated: ‘Some close to the University, however, believe that Harvard has no option but to make a deal. The administration has repeatedly tried to cut research funding, which would be an unsustainable crisis. Like many large research universities, Harvard depends on federal funding for its financial model,'” Trump said, citing the article. Trump said last year that his administration was close to a deal with Harvard that would include a $500 million payment from the university, after months of negotiations over the institution’s policies. This is another chapter in the president’s attack against the university. In 2025, the Republican cut funding from the institution and banned the enrollment of foreign students. In December, the Trump administration appealed a judge’s ruling that found the cancellation of more than $2 billion in research grants awarded to Harvard illegal and that it can therefore no longer cut research funding to the Ivy League university.
