President Donald Trump's administration has frozen $584 million in federal funding for the University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA said on Wednesday after the government reprimanded the university over pro-Palestinian protests.

The Trump administration has ended about $500 million for the Los Angeles-based university. The president said he wanted nearly double that to restart the flow of funds.

The news comes after the administration suspended $584 million in federal grants for the university and if accepted would mark the biggest university payout to the White House
