In other news, negotiations between Harvard University and the White House experienced turbulence after President Trump publicly criticized the Ivy League institution on social media, according to The New York Times.

Separately, a legal letter claimed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein asked an exotic dancer to "engage in various sex acts" at Epstein's Florida home, the BBC reported. Lawyers for the unnamed woman alleged she was offered $10,000 to dance and that Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor then requested a threesome. The letter further stated that the woman was not paid the promised amount and would keep the alleged 2006 encounter, in which she was "treated like a prostitute," confidential in exchange for a payment of $250,000. The BBC reported that it had contacted Mountbatten-Windsor for comment. He has always denied any wrongdoing.
In a separate analysis, The New York Times published an article examining President Trump's approach to global economic policymaking, suggesting it resembles "neoroyalism," akin to the practices of 16th-century royal families like the Tudors and Hapsburgs. The article posits that Trump's policies are driven by personal, family, and business ties rather than national interest or long-term growth.
