The Global Story - The President’s Path: Trump v Harvard
Download The President’s Path: Trump v Harvard
As part of his wider crackdown on higher education, US President Donald Trump has moved to ban Harvard from enrolling international students, accusing the school of not doing enough to combat antisemitism on campus. Harvard filed a lawsuit in response, and a judge has halted Trump's ban for now. On this episode of The President’s Path, Caitríona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann Jr. unpack Trump's move against one of America's most prestigious universities. Plus, they also take a closer look at the Trump administration's growing ties to the cryptocurrency world - a once-fringe business the president and his allies have embraced in recent months.
Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power. You can contact us at: path@bbc.co.uk
