Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Jewish donors that if elected, he would take action against US universities propagating what he described as “antisemitic content.”
He warned that such universities could lose their accreditation and federal funding if they failed to stop promoting this type of propaganda.
Trump delivered these remarks remotely to over 1,000 Republican Jewish Coalition donors in Las Vegas.
Trump also declared that he would prohibit refugee resettlement from areas he described as “terror-infested,” such as Gaza, and pledged to arrest those involved in pro-Hamas protests, apparently referring to student demonstrators.
During Trump’s presidency, from 2017-2020, the US admitted 114 Palestinian refugees, while under Biden, 124 were admitted between 2021 and mid-2023.
Trump did not provide detailed Middle Eastern policy proposals but warned that a presidency under Vice President Kamala Harris would be disastrous for Israel, predicting that Israel would be abandoned if she were in charge.
