Other US universities are doing the same. USC has also paused its PhD, admissions.
The U.S. is the greatest country in terms of Scientific output and Trump doesn’t understand that U.S. Scientific hegemony is what makes America great.

I’m surprised it’s taken universities this long to make it official.
Science agencies have mostly halted research grant reviews, which means that new grants cannot be awarded. There is very little the courts can do to force the Trump administration to review grant applications efficiently. It’s very easy to bog the grant agencies down with more rules and roadblocks to make sure less money goes out the door, and doing so could be perfectly legal.
That’s not even getting into the NIH indirect cost haircut, which may be coming down from other agencies soon.
Hoping this all blows over, or I’m going to leave science for the private sector.

If a European country makes themselves more appealing to PhD seeking Americans they could get a lot of brainpower heading their way

Yeah this is happening at a lot more places than Pitt. Probably can write 1,000 identical articles about other institutions and just flood the sub with them. (Just for anyone who reads the headline and sees this as a “local story”)
This will take decades to fix
