Donald Trump is now threatening to tax Harvard as 'political entity' after the freezing point of $ 2.2 billion | Today news

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to deprive Harvard of his tax-released status after Elite University refused to accept far-reaching policy changes ordered by the White House. Trump has already frozen $ 2.2 billion in federal funds on Monday as retaliation against the top university’s fight against the administration’s attempt to put campuses. Trump’s joint task group to combat anti -Semitism responded on Monday with a statement announcing the $ 2.2 billion in holders, plus a freezing point on $ 60 million government contracts. Trump said Harvard “must lose his tax -free status and be taxed as a political entity” if it is not subjected to its demands of the college to change the way it manages itself, including the choice of students and authority for professors. Tax -released status is ‘completely dependent on the actions in the public interest’, he added social network in the post about his truth. In a letter to students and faculties, Harvard president Alan Garber promised to face the government, demanding that the school not “negotiate its independence or its constitutional rights.” Trump’s joint task group to combat anti -Semitism responded on Monday with a statement announcing the $ 2.2 billion in holders, plus a freezing point on $ 60 million government contracts.
