Mark Carney's daughter Cleo caught up in Trump-Harvard row

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s daughter may not be able to go back to Harvard University in the upcoming semester due to the dispute between the Trump administration and the prestigious Ivy League school, as reported by The Post.

Cleo Carney, who grew up in London while her father was Governor of the Bank of England, just finished her freshman year at the embattled Cambridge-based institution.

She’s one of the nearly-7,000 international students whose time at Harvard could end after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem moved to terminate the school’s student visa program for the 2025-2026 school year.

The younger Carney is following in her father’s footsteps, pursuing a bachelor’s in economics at the university. Mark Carney — who spent a number of years south of the 49th parallel but now talks tough about the US — is a Harvard grad.

Cleo is due to return in September for her second year of classes.

Foreign students like Carney — who make up more than a quarter of Harvard’s student body — could be forced to transfer to other institutions or lose their legal status after the university refused a request to turn over foreign students’ records, including any video or audio of their protest activity in the past five years.

Though a Massachusetts judge issued a preliminary injunction against the federal government Thursday, the saga is not over.

The White House confirmed Carney, along with other international students, would get the boot if the administration gets its way.

“The President’s goal is clear: we will put America first, and that means our policies on everything from trade to immigration should benefit Americans, not other nations at the expense of our people,” a senior administration official told The Post.

The row comes during what’s already an especially tense time between the two nations, with Canadians enraged at President Trump’s repeated threats to make the Great White North the 51st US state and a trade war between the two countries.

The daughter of the prime minister isn’t the only VIP international student whose future at the Ivy League is in jeopardy.

Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth, 23, is working on a two-year master’s degree in public policy at Harvard..

Belgium’s Royal Palace said the heir to the throne was waiting to find out whether she can return to Harvard for her second year.

Trump this week said admitting more American students would make Harvard “great again.”

“They can’t get in because we have foreign students there,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. “Harvard is treating our country with great disrespect.”

Carney’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
