NEW DELHI, IndiaDonald Trump reacted to rumors regarding a possible rejection of his son Barron by Harvard University amid a newly imposed ban on the enrollment of international students.

Reports indicate that Harvard has sued the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security revoked its ability to accept foreign students under the F-1 visa program. The administration cited a need to improve campus safety, claiming that anti-American and pro-terrorist agitators put many students, especially Jewish students, in danger.

In response to these changes, existing international students were warned they must either transfer or risk losing their legal status in the United States. Harvard filed a court case on Friday, asserting that the government’s actions represent a clear violation of the Administrative Procedures Act and constitutional rights.

Since Trump assumed office again, tensions between Harvard and his administration have escalated, leading to the suspension of federal funding for the university. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island has joined the discourse, sharing concerns about the potential motivations behind the decision, particularly around Barron Trump‘s application.

“Can’t help but wonder how many Trumps got rejected by Harvard,” Whitehouse noted on social media. However, there is no confirmed information that Barron applied to either Harvard or Columbia University.

Trump himself expressed discontent during a recent media appearance in Morristown, New Jersey. He raised issues about the high percentage of international students at Harvard, which he claimed is as much as 31 percent, arguing that it unfairly limits access for American students. “It’s too much,” he said. “We have Americans who want to go there, and they can’t because there are spots taken by international students.”

While Trump acknowledged that he does not oppose foreign students, he believes the current situation is unsustainable, especially since federal funds have been allocated to such institutions. “We want to know who the people are,” he emphasized, hinting at a need for transparency regarding the university’s student demographics.

As the situation continues to unfold, Harvard’s challenges with the federal government and the rumor mill surrounding Barron’s educational future remain topics of intense public scrutiny.
