U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration has been working with Harvard University and could announce a deal "over the next week or so" to resolve the White House's campaign against the country's oldest and richest university.

President Donald Trump said his administration has been holding talks with Harvard University and may announce a deal over the next week, potentially ending a standoff that has jeopardized billions of dollars of the school’s funding and ignited a rollicking legal fight.

A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from revoking Harvard University's ability to enroll international students — but President Trump said Friday he could strike a "deal" to resolve his battles with the Ivy League school within days.
