China obliges support for students overseas after Trump's recent attack on Harvard – US policy live | US messages

Good morning and welcome to the US politics live blog. I am Tom Ambrose and will bring you the latest news lines in the next few hours.

The Trump administration revokes the ability of Harvard University to record international students in their escalating fight with the Ivy League School, and said that thousands of current pupils have to switch to other schools or leave the country.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the campaign on Thursday and said Harvard created an unsafe campus environment by enabling “anti -American, terrorist agitators” to attack Jewish students on campus. Harvard also accused Harvard of being coordinated with the Chinese party's Communist Party, and said she had trained and trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group since 2024.

“This means that Harvard can no longer register foreign students and existing foreign students have to transfer their legal status or lose,” said the agency in an explanation.

Harvard incorporated almost 6,800 foreign students on his campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts and takes more than a quarter of his student body into account. Most are doctoral students who come from more than 100 countries.

It comes when China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it will protect the legitimate rights and interests of his overseas students and the scholar.

US actions will undoubtedly influence his image and credibility, said Mao Ning, spokesman for the ministry, during a regular press conference and added that the educational cooperation between China and the USA benefits both parties.

• The US Ministry of Justice accused the sole suspect in a brazen attack, in which two young employees of the Israeli embassy outside the Jewish Museum in the city center of Washington DC were killed with murder of foreign civil servants and other crimes. The court documents published on Thursday accused Elias Rodriguez, 31, from Chicago, with the murders on Wednesday evening, which shocked the US capital and were convicted by the leaders of the world as “terrible” and “anti -Semitic”. According to the submission, the police suspect said after his arrest: “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.”

• Mahmoud Khalil, the imprisoned Palestinian activist, was allowed to stop his month-old son for the first time after a federal judge blocked the efforts of the Trump administration to keep the father and the child separated by a plexiglass divider, reports the Associated Press. Today's visit came before a planned immigration hearing for Khalil, a legal graduate of the constant residents and the Columbia University, which has been taking place in a prison in Louisiana since March 8.

• The governor of North Dakota, Kelly Armstrong, accidentally stated $ 35 million for the state's apartment budget. When Armstrong took up a budget law approved by the legislator, he thought that he had filed a few advertising books. But he made North Dakota to the Million Budget. Now the state finds out how to deal with the unusual problem of a wrong veto.

• The Supreme Court rejected the independent board members of the independent agency released by Donald Trump. The court's lawsuit expanded a highest judge John Roberts issued in April, in which two board members were removed, who had released Trump from agencies who deal with work problems, including a key role for federal workers as president in order to reduce the workforce drastically. The decision on Thursday remains a appeal decision that Gwynne Wilcox temporarily restored to the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris in the Merit Systems Protection Board.

• Donald Trump announced in Truth Social that Bernie Navarro, the founder of the Miami loan Benworth Capital, will be Ambassador Peru. Navarro is an ally and donor from Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. Benworth was sued by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco last year.

• Donald Trump showed a screenshot of a Reuters video that was recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of what he incorrectly presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass murder white South Africans, reports Reuters himself. “These are all white farmers who are buried,” said Trump, withstanding an article that is accompanied by the picture during a controversial Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. In fact, the video published by Reuters on February 3, which was subsequently checked by the new agency's fact, showed humanitarian workers in the Congolese city of Goma. After fatal battles with M23 rebels supported by Rwanda, the picture was drawn from Reuters film material.
