President Donald Trump signed a proclamation to suspend international visas for new students at Harvard University, the White House announced Wednesday, in a dramatic escalation of its efforts to block foreigners from enrolling at the elite university.

The proclamation suspends the entry of any new Harvard student as a nonimmigrant under F, M, or J visas into the United States and “directs the Secretary of State to consider revoking existing F, M, or J visas for current Harvard students who meet the Proclamation’s criteria,” the White House said in a statement on Wednesday.
