The Trump administration is reportedly planning to revoke an additional $1 billion in federal funding from Harvard University, putting more pressure on the school to comply with the White House’s demands.

Officials, including President Donald Trump, have grown frustrated with the Ivy League school for publicly pushing back on the administration’s requests, already freezing $2 billion in federal funding and threatening to revoke its tax-exempt status.

But they could further escalate tensions by freezing or revoking an additional $1 billion that the government provides through health research contracts, the Wall Street Journal reported.

It’s a response from officials who have become furious with the school for publishing the letter of demands, which they believed were a confidential starting point for negotiations, according to the report.
