Australia’s top universities said on Thursday the Trump administration had cut U.S. funding to some of its researchers and asked others who receive U.S. government financial support to prove their work was aligned with American interests.

The United States Department of Agriculture is temporarily pulling its funding for the University of Maine System a week after the Trump administration sent a violation notice to Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) for allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.

The University of Maine’s funding from a federal agency has been paused, less than three weeks after Governor Janet Mills publicly feuded with President Trump over transgender athletes, officials said.
