A bombshell report from the Department of Education has exposed the staggering influence foreign governments are purchasing in American higher education, with $5.2 billion flowing to colleges and universities in 2025 alone.
Leading the charge is Qatar - yes, the same Gulf nation that hosts Hamas terrorists - which dumped a mind-boggling $1.1 billion into U.S. academic institutions. Following close behind are the United Kingdom with over $633 million and Communist China with over $528 million in "gifts and contracts."
But let's call this what it is, Patriots: foreign governments don't hand over billions without expecting something in return. This isn't charity - it's influence peddling on a massive scale.
The Academic-Industrial Complex Exposed
Switzerland contributed over $451 million while Japan rounded out the top five with $374 million. These astronomical figures raise uncomfortable questions that the mainstream media refuses to ask: What exactly are these foreign powers buying with their billions?
We've all seen how our once-prestigious universities have become breeding grounds for anti-American sentiment, radical leftist ideology, and outright hatred of Western values. Is it any coincidence that institutions receiving massive foreign funding are the same ones promoting policies that weaken America?
"When foreign governments pour billions into our educational system, they're not investing in American students - they're investing in American influence," one education policy expert told Next News Network.
This data comes at a time when President Trump's administration is working overtime to root out foreign interference in American institutions. The timing couldn't be more perfect for the Trump-Vance team to investigate exactly what strings are attached to these massive payments.
While everyday American families struggle with crushing student debt, foreign governments are writing blank checks to the very institutions that indoctrinate our children against their own country. It's time to ask the hard questions: Are our universities serving American students or foreign masters?
The American people deserve transparency about what influence these billions are buying in our classrooms and research labs.
