The Trump administration is battling with the Ivy League school over billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants. Trump froze $2.4 billion in grants to Harvard earlier this year amid pro-Palestinian protests and antisemitism on campus. 

But just this week, Trump said a deal with Harvard had been worked out to restore the funding, which includes the university putting $500 million towards trade schools.

Engines, lots of things.”
