Will U.S deport 10,000 foreign students after Donald Trump's Harvard ban? Here's what you should know
Harvard University
from accepting foreign students. This action puts the future of 6,800 international students in doubt. Out of these, 800 students are from India, as per reports.
These students were in the US on F-1 or J-1 visas, but now those visas are in danger since Harvard's certification has been revoked. Without this certification from the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, Harvard can't legally admit foreign students anymore.
Students who are about to graduate and get their degrees soon are safe, according to the report by India Today. Students have only 2 options, either join another SEVP-certified university, or face deportation, since they will lose their legal right to stay in the US.
The Department of Homeland Security has given Harvard 72 hours to fix the situation. In these 3 days, if Harvard submits 6 specific records, it can get back the ability to enroll foreign students.

Any records showing dangerous or violent actions by any foreign student, again, on or off campus.

Disciplinary records of all non-immigrant students enrolled in the past 5 years. Video or audio of protests on campus involving foreign students in the last 5 years.
The Trump administration has been in a dispute with Harvard recently over 'campus antisemitism', and this may be linked to the decision, says reports.

Japan tariff deal to include $550bn investment: Trump
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said Japan has given him, as part of a new trade framework, $550 billion to invest in the United States. "Japan is putting up $550 billion in order to lower their tariffs a little bit," Trump said Thursday. "They put up, as you could call it, seed money." He said 90% of any profits from the money invested would go to the US even if Japan had put up the funds. "It's not a loan or anything, it's a signing bonus," the Republican president said, on the trade framework that lowered his threatened tariff from 25% to 15%, including on autos. A White House official said the terms are being negotiated and nothing has been formalised in writing. The sum is significant: It would represent more than 10% of Japan's entire gross domestic product . The Japan External Trade Organisation estimates that direct investment into the US economy topped $780 billion in 2023.
