Donald Trump says he is considering taking a further \u2018three billion dollars of grant money\u2019 from the institution. Key US politics stories from Monday 26 May at a glance
Donald Trump delivered the traditional presidential Memorial Day speech at Arlington national cemetery and also attacked judges on social media, talking up his own achievements and threatening Harvard University with further cuts to its funding.
Trump posted on his social media platform: \u201cI am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land.\u201d
Harvard has launched legal actions over what it said was Trump\u2019s attempt to \u201cgain control of academic decision-making\u201d at the university and his administration\u2019s threat to review<\/a> about $9bn in federal funding<\/a>. Last week the Trump administration announced it would revoke federal permission for the institution to enrol international students. A federal judge issued an injunction<\/a> within hours, temporarily blocking such a ban.
Here\u2019s what\u2019s been happening.
A recent former president of Harvard University<\/a> has urged people to \u201cspeak out\u201d in defence of \u201cfoundational threats\u201d to values such as freedom, autonomy and democracy in the US.
Drew Gilpin Faust, the first female president of Harvard, also warned of US constitutional checks and the rule of law being \u201cat risk\u201d under the current administration, even as Donald Trump<\/a> issued a fresh threat against the elite university as it seeks to repel his assaults on its independence and funding.

Harvard has launched legal action against the ban but done little to assuage concerns among students thrown into limbo<\/a>. Experts have warned the US the ban could be a boon for foreign institutions looking to attract talent.

Donald Trump honoured the sacrifices of US military veterans in the traditional presidential Memorial Day speech at Arlington national cemetery, but also peppered his address on Monday with partisan political asides while talking up his own plans and achievements.
The US president laid a wreath and paid tribute to fallen soldiers and gave accounts of battlefield courage as tradition dictates. But Trump also veered off into rally-style personal boasting and brief partisan attacks during the solemn event.

Holidaymakers in countries hit the hardest by Trump\u2019s trade tariffs are taking the US off their list for trips abroad, according to online travel booking data.

Experts have told the Guardian that Islamic State is capitalising on Trump\u2019s dismantling of the international order, his affinity for Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government in Israel, and most of all his appointment of Pete Hegseth as Pentagon chief, in its recruitment propaganda.

Former government officials have told the Guardian that Trump\u2019s quid pro quo approach to foreign policy<\/a><\/strong> has more in common with his predecessors than it first appears. Where he does differ, they argue, is in his shameless abandonment of moral leadership and use of the US presidency for personal gain.
Cuts to AmeriCorps \u2013 the US agency for national service and volunteerism \u2013 were among the harshest doled out by Donald Trump<\/a> and Elon Musk<\/a>\u2019s so-called \u201cdepartment of government efficiency\u201d (Doge). Those cuts are already disrupting LA wildfire recovery<\/a>.<\/strong>
