‘It’s a Lot of Money’: Trump Keeps Options Open Amid Harvard’s Willingness to Settle Dispute for $500M

President Donald Trump said he will “see what happens” in negotiations with Harvard as the university is reportedly willing to settle with the administration for $500 million.

“It’s a lot of money,” he told The Daily Signal, repeating for emphasis: “It’s a lot of money.”

Harvard is willing to pay considering an up to $500 million deal as a way to end its battle with the Trump administration, the New York Times reported.

The president said his administration is negotiating with Harvard now. The talks follow a $200 million settlement with Columbia University on July 23.

Harvard and the Trump administration have been in a months long legal battle after the president pulled $2 billion in federal funding for Harvard and removed its ability to enroll international students due to Harvard’s diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

“We’re negotiating with Harvard now,” Trump said. “They would like to settle, so we’ll see what happens.”
