New Delhi, April 17 -- The Trump administration reportedly threatened to ban the esteemed Harvard University from enrolling foreign students.

The government said it would stop Harvard University from enrolling foreign students if it did not agree to government demands.

US President Donald Trump is furious at the university for rejecting his request to submit to oversight on admissions, hiring and political slant.

"And if Harvard cannot verify it is in full compliance with its reporting requirements, the university will lose the privilege of enrolling foreign students," read a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

The Harvard University has produced 162 Nobel prize winners.
