Trump canceled $ 5 million to Colombia University for protests by Palestinian supporters

According to RCO News Agency, Donald Trump’s Minister of Education Linda McMahoon said in a statement: “If universities want to receive federal funding, they must follow all federal anti -discrimination laws. For a long time, Columbia University has abandoned this commitment to Jewish students studying at the university. Today, we show this university and other universities that we will no longer tolerate these terrible actions and their inefficiency. “

“We are working with the federal government to re -establish the canceled budget and emphasize our obligations to deal with anti -Semitism and guarantee that our students’ security and welfare are being carried out,” Colombia University also said in a statement released.

According to Anatolia, the Trump administration’s move in the midst of widespread suppression of Palestinian supporters who have marched against the Zionist regime in Gaza and called for a halt to work and cooperation with companies affiliated with the regime.

These measures have raised concerns about freedom of expression at American universities.

Colombia University was a leader and leader of Palestinian student protests last year, resulting in tens of people arrested and faced punitive measures.

The anti -war movement across the United States also began last April by a Palestinian support group at Columbia University; Where dozens of students were arrested and others were forced to leave the campus.

Also on Wednesday, a group of Palestinian supporters protested at the University’s Mailstein Library to protest the decision of Colombia University College to dismiss one third of Palestinian protesting students.

Trump signed an executive order last month to counter anti -Semitism, which is a framework that could lead to the dismissal of foreign students participating in supporting Palestinian protests in the United States.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said that foreign travelers, including international students who support groups such as Hamas, are facing a lack of visas and dismissal.
