Trump moves to block US entry for foreigners planning to study at Harvard University
President Donald Trump is moving to block nearly all foreign students from entering the country to attend Harvard University, his latest attempt to choke the Ivy League school from an international pipeline that accounts for a quarter of the student body. In an executive order signed Wednesday, Trump declared that it would jeopardize national security to allow Harvard to continue hosting foreign students on its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 'I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard's conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers,' Trump wrote in the order. It's a further escalation in the White House's fight with the nation's oldest and wealthiest university. A federal court in Boston blocked the Department of Homeland Security from barring international students at Harvard last week. Trump's order invokes a different legal authority. It stems from Harvard's refusal to submit to a series of demands made by the federal government. It has escalated recently after the Department of Homeland Security said Harvard refused to provide records related to misconduct by foreign students. Harvard says it has complied with the request, but the government said the school's response was insufficient. ___ The Associated Press' education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

BREAKING NEWS Iran's World Cup status revealed after Donald Trump's USA travel ban
Iran are one of 12 nations being placed on a United States travel ban as of Monday, but their soccer team will be allowed to compete in the World Cup next summer. Trump resurrected the ban from his first term on Wednesday night, signing a document preventing nationals from a dozen countries from entering the US. 'I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people,' Trump said in his proclamation. But the White House has confirmed to Daily Mail that exemptions are in place for 'athletes or members of athletic teams, including coaches and support staff, and athletes traveling for the World Cup, Olympics or other sporting events'. Iran qualified for next summer's tournament in March this year - one of only seven teams to officially make it as it stands. The United States is hosting the 48-team competition next summer alongside Canada and Mexico.

BREAKING NEWS Trump suspends Harvard University's foreign student visa program for 'undermining' national security
President Donald Trump has declared he is restricting foreign nationals from studying at Harvard University in the latest escalation on his attacks at the Ivy League institution. The president issued an executive order Wednesday entitled Enhancing National Security by Addressing Risks at Harvard University, which suspends the Ivy League's student visa program - declaring that is a 'privilege granted by our government, not a guarantee.' He also doubled down on his claims that the school violated federal law, and argued it is important to limit international students for national security. 'The Federal Bureau of Investigation has long warned that foreign adversaries and competitors take advantage of easy access to American higher education to, among other things, steal technical information and products, exploit expensive research and development to advance their own ambitions and spread false information for political or other reasons,' the executive order states.
