23.05.2025 ⇢ The Day Harvard Won Against Tariffs
⌨
The Trump administration's ban on international students at Harvard dominated morning coverage, with multiple newspapers reporting on the controversy. By early afternoon, Harvard filed suit against the administration, leading to a federal judge blocking the ban by late afternoon. The victory for Harvard represents a setback for Trump's educational policy agenda.
Simultaneously, Trump escalated trade tensions by threatening 50% tariffs on European Union products starting June 1 and a 25% tariff on Apple unless iPhones are manufactured in the US. Markets reacted negatively, with NPR reporting a "Sell America" trend on Wall Street.
In the evening, Trump announced a "partnership" between US Steel and Nippon Steel while signing executive orders to revive the nuclear industry. Chief Justice Roberts intervened to shield the Department of Government Efficiency from Freedom of Information requests, suspending discovery in the case.
