In a high-stakes legal showdown, President Donald Trump revealed that his administration is currently in negotiations with Harvard University regarding $2.5 billion in canceled funding. The case has captured national attention due to its significant financial implications for one of America's most prestigious institutions.

Trump disclosed on Wednesday that Harvard is actively seeking a settlement. The university's initiative comes amid rising tensions over the abrupt halt in funding, initially allocated for undisclosed projects.

The President maintained a reserved stance on the matter, succinctly stating, "They would like to settle, so we'll see what happens." The potential financial settlement remains a critical issue, likely to influence future university-government collaborations.
