Two hours ago, I resigned from the @HarvardAlumni Association Board of Directors. I found @Harvard President Claudine Gay's testimony abhorrent and I reject the statement issued earlier today by the Executive Committee of the @harvardalumni Association's Board of Directors.
The Executive Committee of Harvard University's Alumni Association on Monday gave its support for Harvard President Claudine Gay's leadership amid backlash to her congressional testimony on antisemitism. trib.al/WpyuIo6

Education, research and innovation are fundamental to Switzerland’s success – but they are not guaranteed. In a time of global uncertainty, strong international partnerships are more crucial than ever.

Report: Bessent Says China Has a ‘Choice’ on Whether or Not to Be a Reliable Partner
“They either want to be a reliable partner to the rest of the world, or they don’t,” Bessent said via video link to the American Swiss Foundation Leadership Summit in Zurich on Tuesday.
“They are in the midst of a large real estate — I won’t be alarmist and say crisis — but a large real estate over-build and the way for them to stabilize their economy is not to export deflation and excess products to the rest of the world,” he said. “The way to do that is through a level of fiscal stimulus and to stop over-manufacturing, and get on a sound footing for the consumer economy.”
Bessent didn’t comment about a possible call between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping, which White House officials have indicated is in the works.

At the Leadership Summit of the American Swiss Foundation, I spoke about the evolving partnership between Switzerland and the United States.
Regarding the tarifs, our constant dialogue helps to find a good solution.

Discussing Opportunities and Challenges for 🇺🇸 Swiss Relations at the @AmSwissFound Leadership Summit
Vanessa Beary retweeted
There is only one conclusion to take from Day 1 of the American-Swiss Foundation Leadership Summit:
The US and Switzerland are really of the same mind - and will most definitely find a way to “do a deal” on trade.
Confirmed by conversations with @SecScottBessent, @SECO_CH Head @SECO_StateSec and former Ambassador Ed McMullin - as well as @SwissGov President @keller_sutter.
And as an American living and working in Switzerland - I know it will happen.
This is how business is done. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇭

Treasury @SecScottBessent says the US “will continue working with our Swiss counterparts to streamline global financial regulations, modernize capital requirements, and to continue to engage with one another in key macro macroeconomic issues,” speaking to the American Swiss Foundation Leadership Summit in Rüschlikon.
On China, Bessent says Beijing has a choice— “They either want to be a reliable partner to the rest of the world, or they don’t,” reiterating that it needs to be more of a consumption-led economy.

It was an honor to join the @AmSwissFound Leadership Summit today to celebrate the longstanding relationship between the United States and Switzerland.
Over the last eight decades, the American Swiss Foundation has been instrumental in deepening this historic bond. More recently, @POTUS’ visionary leadership has fortified relations between our sister republics.
Both countries play a critical role in preserving the light of liberty on both sides of the Atlantic – and it is my hope that we continue working together to ensure that light shines to all nations.

NEW: University administrators FAILED to keep Jewish students safe in the face of antisemitism on campus.
Across the country, there were stunning concessions to encampment organizers, a lack of discipline & no support for Jewish students.

The @EdWorkforceCmte’s report on antisemitism clearly shows the moral bankruptcy of university leaders to take decisive action against incidents of antisemitism on their campuses and even confirms personal attacks against me for pursuing their accountability.

I am ashamed that professors at my alma mater canceled classes "because students feel blue about Trump." College is about challenging students, not coddling. We should be grateful for American democracy in a world filled with authoritarian regimes.

The Harvard encampment has just ended. Do you want to see Harvard’s antisemitism in real time? Harvard has agreed with almost all of their demands. I’ve never been this disillusioned than this morning. 🧵1/5
