For decades, US universities have outpaced their European counterparts in cutting-edge research. Institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford draw from the world’s brightest minds, consistently producing Nobel laureates.

But with President Donald Trump’s assault on higher education, many US-based talents are being driven away—a shift that could play to the EU’s advantage.
