staff at Harvard, after President Donald Trump tried to ban foreign students from the prestigious US university.<br \/>  We stand with universities facing the threat of government control, restriction to their funding, constraints on their curricula or research projects, Jean-Noel Barrot said during a commencement address at the high-profile HEC business school in Paris.<br \/>  We stand with Harvard faculty, with Harvard students, facing unjustified stress and anxiety right now, he added in English.<br \/>  Should US courts uphold decisions to ban international students, France will offer (them) a safe place to complete their degrees, he said.<br \/>  Universities and research facilities in the United States have come under increasing political and financial pressure under Trump, including with threats of massive federal funding cuts.<br \/>  Harvard has been at the forefront of Trump&#8217;s campaign against top American universities after it defied his calls to submit to oversight of its curriculum, staffing, student recruitment and viewpoint diversity.<br \/>  A US court last week put a temporary stay on Trump&#8217;s latest effort to stop foreign students from enrolling at Harvard.<br \/>  A White House proclamation a day earlier had sought to bar most new international students at Harvard from entering the country, and said existing foreign enrollees risked having their visas terminated.<br \/>      The US government has already cut around $3.2 billion of federal grants and contracts benefiting Harvard and pledged to exclude the institution from any future federal funding.<br \/>  France and the European Union are seeking to encourage disgruntled researchers to relocate from the United States to Europe.<br \/>  European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said last month that the EU would launch a new incentives package worth 500 million euros ($580 million) to make the 27-nation bloc a magnet for researchers.<br \/>  French President Emmanuel Macron in April unveiled plans for a funding programme to help national universities and other research bodies cover the cost of bringing foreign scientists to the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France&#8217;s foreign minister on Saturday said his country supported students and staff at Harvard, after
