White House posts ‘Shalom Columbia’ graphic after Trump waves goodbye to school’s federal grants
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe White House publishes a graphic headed “Shalom Columbia” on its X account about US President Donald Trump’s decision to halt hundreds of millions in federal funding for the Ivy League university over its handling of antisemitism on campus.
In an ultimatum to Hamas earlier this week, Trump told the terror group that Shalom “means hello and goodbye,” with the latter now appearing to apply in Columbia’s case as the university parts from the federal grants it received.
SHALOM COLUMBIA: The Trump Admin, led by @USEDgov and the Task Force to Combat Antisemitism (@TheJusticeDept, @HHSGov, & @USGSA), has canceled ~$400M in federal grants to @Columbia over its failure to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment. pic.twitter.com/CavoXbhhvx
