Telegraph: Trump warns Maduro: ‘Don’t f— with America’

Venezuela “doesn’t want to f— around with the United States”, Donald Trump said on Friday.

The president told reporters that Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, had made sweeping concessions to the US after Mr Trump said he was considering ground strikes against Venezuela.

Mr Trump has repeatedly accused Venezuela of being a hub for the trafficking of fentanyl to the US. In October, he declared the US was in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels to legitimise military strikes on drug boats. Four such strikes have been carried out to date.

New York Post: Trump admin freezes $1B in federal funding to Cornell, $790M to Northwestern amid investigations into both schools

More harassment of elite universities by an oaf who wasn’t bright enough to be admitted to one:

The Trump administration is freezing more than $1 billion in federal funds to Cornell and $790 million in funding for Northwestern University in response to civil rights investigations at both schools.

“The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump admin official told Fox News.

The pause largely involves grants and contracts to both schools with the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education and Health and Human Services, two administration officials told the New York Times.
