Washington (USA), 26 August (LaPresse) – Donald Trump is asking Harvard to pay $500 million in compensation to restore federal funding to the university. The university has behaved “very badly”, said the president. ‘We want nothing less than $500 million from Harvard. Don't negotiate, Linda,’ Trump told Education Secretary Linda McMahon during the cabinet meeting at the White House. ‘They behaved very badly. Don't negotiate,’ the president added. Harvard is one of the Trump administration's main targets, and an agreement between the two sides has so far proved unattainable. The administration has accused Harvard of failing to crack down on anti-Semitism that erupted after the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
