For months, U.S. President Donald Trump has been embroiled in a battle with Harvard University over allegations of anti-Semitism. Research funding has been cut, foreign students have been banned, and Trump has threatened to redirect a further 3 billion dollars in future grants to trade schools.

And will the U.S. continue to be the destination for international scholars?
