Overview
- Melania Trump’s spokesman Nicholas Clemens stated that Barron did not apply to Harvard and dismissed all claims to the contrary as "completely false."
- The denial aims to quash speculation that the president’s dispute with Harvard is driven by a personal grievance over his son’s admission status.
- President Trump withdrew the remaining $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard, adding to more than $3 billion in frozen grants and accusing the university of antisemitism and “woke” policies.
- The administration threatened to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll international students for failing to provide foreign-student data; Harvard sued and obtained a temporary restraining order halting further funding cuts.
- Barron Trump is attending New York University’s Stern School of Business after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in Florida.
