President Donald Trump revealed that his administration is nearing a historic resolution with Harvard University, resolving a campaign that questions the institution's governance. The potential settlement, expected to be announced next week, has been described by Trump as beneficial for the country.

Harvard, embroiled in legal battles with the administration, has accused Trump of infringing its free speech rights, as it attempts to maintain control over its operations and resist what it views as political interference. The university has also filed lawsuits to unlock $2.5 billion in funding and ensure international student admissions remain unaffected.

A federal injunction now temporarily prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from revoking Harvard's ability to enroll international students, pending a months-long administrative process. Both the university and administration await further court decisions for a permanent resolution.
