Harvard University and the Trump administration have restarted talks to potentially settle the acrimonious dispute that led President Trump to wage a far-reaching attack on the school and raised stark questions about the federal government’s place in higher education, according to three people briefed on the negotiations.

United States President Donald Trump claimed on social media Friday that Harvard is in active settlement talks with the White House, suggesting a possible resolution could be announced “over the next week or so.

Trump’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavit echoed that sentiment speaking with reporters Wednesday afternoon. “The President acknowledged the statement that Elon put out this morning and he is appreciative of it. We are continuing to focus on the work of the American people,” Leavitt said.
