Columbia May Be Nearing a Truce with Trump in Funding Fight

Bloomberga day ago
Columbia University may be nearing a deal with the Trump administration to reinstate federal funding to the university over civil rights issues, according to reports by multiple news outlets.
The deal would require Columbia to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to those affected by the alleged violations, increase transparency in its hiring and admissions processes, and take other steps to improve security and safety on campus for Jewish students, the Washington Free Beacon and Wall Street Journal reported.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, who briefly served as the president's director of communications during his first term, says she can't remember him ever 'not doing what they're very vocally asking him to do.'

President Donald Trump's former aide says she's watched in astonishment as her ex-boss has refused to bend to MAGA's will over the 'Epstein files.' 'This is the first time I can really remember that Trump is sidestepping his base and not doing what they're very vocally asking him to do,' Alyssa Farah Griffin, who briefly served as Trump's director of communications in 2020, told CNN. 'If Donald Trump wants all of the information the government has on Jeffrey Epstein to be released, he can make that available—he can direct the attorney general to release it,' she went on. 'So the fact he's not, I think, raises a lot of questions. And this is an issue this White House is not going to be able to make go away overnight.'

Thailand Mulls Zero Duty for More US Goods to Win Tariff Deal

Thailand is weighing allowing zero-duty market access for more US goods to help persuade the Trump administration to lower a threatened 36% tariff on its exports. Thailand, which has previously cut tariffs on imports of longan and tilapia fish from other countries, could lower the levy for the US on those goods to zero, Finance Minister Pichai Chunahavajira said. The government may also amend existing regulations to allow left-hand drive vehicles from the US and eliminate taxes on goods already included in free-trade agreements with other countries, he said.
