Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation to suspend the entry of foreign nationals seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University. This decision is part of an effort to safeguard national security.
The administration expressed concerns about Harvard University's foreign ties and radicalism. The President emphasized accountability for institutions admitting foreign students. "President Trump wants our institutions to have foreign students, but believes that the foreign students should be people that can love our country."
The move is seen as a significant restriction on student visas specifically targeting one of the nation's leading educational institutions.
