单集简介 ...

As part of his wider crackdown on higher education, US President Donald Trump has moved to ban Harvard from enrolling international students, accusing the school of not doing enough to combat antisemitism on campus. Harvard filed a lawsuit in response, and a judge has halted Trump's ban for now. On this episode of The President’s Path, Caitríona Perry, Sumi Somaskanda and Bernd Debusmann Jr. unpack Trump's move against one of America's most prestigious universities. Plus, they also take a closer look at the Trump administration's growing ties to the cryptocurrency world - a once-fringe business the president and his allies have embraced in recent months. Every weekend, The President’s Path explores the state of US politics — in Washington and beyond. We dig into the key issues shaping America and uncover what’s on the minds of those closest to power.

  • BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

  • Hi there, I'm Katrina Perry.

  • Welcome to The President's Path on the Global Story Feed.

  • This week I'm speaking to my fellow chief presenter here in Washington,

  • Sumi Somaskanda, and the BBC's senior reporter, Bernd de Boosman.

  • So it was sort of an odd week in a way, wasn't it?

  • It started off so slowly.

  • President Trump going, what was it, more than 24 hours,

  • I think, without speaking to the media, to the White House reporters.

  • And then suddenly the middle of the week just exploded with news,

  • giving further credence, I think,

  • to that notion that not a week, not a day,

  • but an hour is a very long time in the Trump White House.

  • I kind of think I jinxed it

  • because at the beginning of the week when he hadn't kind of made any public appearances on Tuesday,

  • I loudly and repeatedly said that I was having a quiet, chill week.

  • Oh, Bernie, you never do that.

  • I know.

  • Rookie move.

  • Never say that.
