WASHINGTON:

"I have determined that it is necessary to restrict the entry of foreign nationals who seek to enter the United States solely or principally to participate in a course of study at Harvard University or in an exchange visitor programme hosted by Harvard University," Trump said in a statement late on Wednesday.

The Trump administration has been in an ongoing showdown with academia, and Harvard in particular.

The Ivy League institution has continually drawn Trump's ire while publicly rejecting his administration's repeated demands to give up control of recruitment, curricula and research choices.
