Trump: Taxpayers Footing the Bill For Foreign Students at HarvardLowell Cauffiel 25 May 2025
President Donald Trump evoked more political leverage Sunday in his effort to reign in alleged antisemitism and racial favoritism at Harvard by arguing U.S. taxpayers fund the education of its foreign students.
“Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to,” Trump wrote early Sunday morning on Truth Social. “Nobody told us that!”
The president’s comments come amid a battle between the Trump and the prestigious university for the administration’s plans to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students.
The President continued:
We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries. Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!
