Harvard Faces Cuts as Foreign Universities Compete for Students

Donald Trump threatened to cut Harvard's federal funding and revoke its permission to enroll international students, prompting legal action from Harvard and concerns over US democracy and international talent attraction. Trump also used his Memorial Day speech to boast and attack opponents, while global travel data shows a decline in US-bound tourists from countries affected by tariffs. Experts suggest Trump's foreign policy approach resembles past presidents but with less moral leadership, and his administration's cuts to AmeriCorps are impacting wildfire recovery efforts.
