US EditionTrump signs proclamation to suspend visas for new Harvard international students
- On June 4, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a ban on visas for new international students planning to enroll at Harvard University in the United States.
- The order cited concerns over national security and alleged misconduct by the university, noting that Harvard did not provide information requested by the Department of Homeland Security regarding its international student population.

- The suspension affects new F, M, and J visa holders and directs the Department of State to review current international students’ visas, with over 6,800 international Harvard students from about 140 countries enrolled this year.
- This proclamation escalates an ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and Harvard, potentially impacting Harvard's international programs and reflecting broader federal efforts to address university compliance and campus culture.
