Trump demands list of names of Harvard’s foreign students

Over in the U.S.

President Trump demands that Harvard University reveal the names of its international students, following his attempt to ban the school's foreign student enrollment amid a standoff over Harvard's campus policies.

Lee Seung-jae has the latest.

U.S. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to demand that Harvard University provide his administration with the names and nationalities of all its international students.

In the late-night post, Trump noted that 31 percent of Harvard's students are from "FOREIGN LANDS," some of which are not "friendly to the United States."

Trump added that his administration wants to know who those foreign students are, stressing that the demand is "a reasonable request" as the government gives the Ivy League school "BILLIONS OF DOLLARS."

Harvard University says there would be over 6-thousand-700 names on the list.

According to the New York Times on Sunday, the Trump administration's decision to block international students from enrolling at Harvard is raising concerns among other U.S. universities and colleges.

The report notes that while Harvard is the administration's target now, it could spread to other schools in the country.

In a Fox News interview last week, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem raised the possibility that other schools,.. including Columbia University, could face a similar fate.

The President of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sally Kornbluth, slammed the Trump administration's ban on Harvard's international student enrollment, calling it a "fatal blow to American excellence, openness, and creativity."

The Trump administration has been demanding changes to campus policies, citing the need to eradicate anti-Semitism at universities.

Harvard has refused to implement those changes, claiming they infringe on academic freedom.

A court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan.
