Trump signs an order restricting foreign student visas at Harvard University

# US president Donald Trump has signed an executive order restricting foreign student visas at Harvard University. Last month, the administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enrol foreign students, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the move. The university’s international students make up about 27-percent of the student body. Trump says Harvard has failed to present sufficient information about its foreign students to the federal government. The White House says this latest move is an attempt to safeguard national security, accusing Harvard of having concerning foreign ties and radicalism.
