“Our policies… should benefit Americans,” says U.S. official as Carney’s daughter faces Harvard visa threat.
Cleo Carney, daughter of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, may be barred from returning to Harvard University this fall due to an intensifying standoff between the Trump administration and the Ivy League institution.
Carney, who recently completed her freshman year, is among nearly 7,000 international students whose visas could be revoked after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem moved to terminate Harvard’s foreign student program for the 2025–2026 academic year.
The dispute stems from Harvard’s refusal to hand over records of foreign students’ protest activity, prompting U.S. officials to threaten expulsion.
Though a Massachusetts judge issued a temporary injunction, the White House remains firm.
“The President’s goal is clear: we will put America first,” a senior official told The Post.
Trump also slammed Harvard, saying, “They can’t get in because we have foreign students there.”
Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth, another Harvard student, is also affected.
Carney’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Cleo is due back in September for her second year.
