President Donald Trump on Monday doubled down on his demand for a list of names of international students enrolled at Harvard, yet another escalation in his administration's standoff with the university.

In a social media post on Sunday, Trump claimed that a third of students at the Massachusetts institution are from foreign nations and "some not at all friendly to the United States."

"We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn't exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries," he wrote.

Trump repeated the request on Monday, while also threatening to take away more federal funds from the university. "Harvard is very slow in the presentation of these documents, and probably for good reason!" Trump wrote on his conservative social media platform. ABC News has reached out to Harvard for comment.
