President Donald Trump suggested a 15% cap on international students at Harvard University during a conversation with reporters on Wednesday at the Oval Office.
“We have people want to go to Harvard and other schools, they can’t get in because we have foreign students there. But I want to make sure that the foreign students are people that can love our country,” he said.

They’re taking people from areas of the world that are very radicalized and we don’t want them making trouble in our country,” he said.
