Trump blocked $ 1.5 billion for Palestinian support

US officials have reported that US President Donald Trump has blocked more than $ 1 billion from Kernell University budget and $ 2 million from Northwestern University budget following civil law investigations into the two universities.

This budget halting involves mainly the funds and contracts from the US Ministries of Agriculture, Defense, Education and Health and Human Services. US officials who have announced the News have spoken to the media on the condition that the decision has not yet been officially announced.

The move is part of a growing and unprecedented campaign against US elite universities that has led to a suspension or review of billions of dollars in federal budget over the past month. Other universities that have been threatened with cutting off the budget include Brown, Colombia, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Princeton.

Cornell and Northwestern’s universities are now charged with Judaism and are facing investigations that are investigating claims of racial discrimination caused by diversity -oriented policies.

A statement issued by officials at Cornell University said they received more than 5 defense stops on Tuesday, but have no evidence to suspend more than $ 1 billion. According to them, these budgets have been spent on investigations that “are crucial to national defense, cyber security and US public health.”

“We are actively pursuing federal officials to find out more about these decisions,” the university’s senior officials said in a joint statement.

John Yates, a spokesman for the University of Northwestern, also announced that the university had not received any official announcement from the federal government about the budget stopping.

Northwestern recently released a report entitled “Progress Report” in which measures were put forward to support Jewish students, including mandatory training for anti -Semitism for all students, professors and staff.

“The federal budgets received by North Western provide innovative and rescue research; Including the world’s smallest heart rate and research on Alzheimer’s treatment. “This type of research is now at risk.”

Trump’s Minister of Education Linda McMahoon has explicitly stated that the government’s focus is on elite universities; Universities that Trump described as the base of leftist thinking. He has said that tax support for universities is a “concession” that could be canceled if they do not comply with civil rights laws.

Like many other universities, Cornell and Northwestern universities have been the scene of protests about the Gaza war.

Last month, the Trump administration warned four universities, including Cornell and North Western, that they would face disciplinary measures if Judaism proves. In addition, there is also a research on the claim of racial discrimination.
