Donald Trump says US court ruling on tariffs was wrong, political; hopes Supreme Court reverses ‘horrible' decision
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the US Court of International Trade's order to block import tariffs was "so wrong" and "so political." In a long post on TRUTH social media, Trump said, "Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY."
The US President's statement came as a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated the most sweeping of Trump's tariffs on Thursday.
The fresh ruling by the appeals court's came a day after a US trade court ruled that Trump had exceeded his authority in imposing the duties and ordered an immediate block on them.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington said it was pausing the lower court's ruling to consider the government's appeal, and ordered the plaintiffs in the cases to respond by June 5 and the administration by June 9.
Reacting to this, Trump said in the social media post, 'The US Court of International Trade incredibly ruled against the United States of America on desperately needed Tariffs but, fortunately, the full 11 Judge Panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Court has just stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade.'
Trump slammed the judges who had blocked the tariffs in the first place saying, "Where do these initial three Judges come from? How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of 'TRUMP?' What other reason could it be?"
"I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten! With all of that being said, I am very proud of many of our picks, but very disappointed in others. They always must do what's right for the Country!," Trump said.
He said, 'The horrific decision stated that I would have to get the approval of Congress for these Tariffs. In other words, hundreds of politicians would sit around DC for weeks, and even months, trying to come to a conclusion as to what to charge other Countries that are treating us unfairly. If allowed to stand, this would completely destroy Presidential Power — The Presidency would never be the same! This decision is being hailed all over the World by every Country, other than the United States of America.'
Trump contended that "radical Left Judges, together with some very bad people, are destroying America."
"Under this decision, Trillions of Dollars would be lost by our Country, money that will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. It would be the harshest financial ruling ever leveled on us as a Sovereign Nation. The President of the United States must be allowed to protect America against those that, are doing it Economic and Financial harm. Thank you for your attention to this matter!," Trump said.
Hailing his decision on global tariffs, Trump said, "...it is only because of my successful use of Tariffs that many Trillions of Dollars have already begun pouring into the USA from other countries, money that, without these Tariffs, we would not be able to get."
"It is the difference between having a rich, prosperous, and successful United States of America, and quite the opposite," he said.

UN nuclear watchdog flags Iran's growing uranium stockpile amid talks with US
Iran has significantly increased its stockpile of uranium enriched close to weapons-grade levels, a confidential report by the UN's nuclear watchdog revealed Saturday, urging Tehran to urgently change course and cooperate with ongoing investigations. The report, seen by the Associated Press, comes amid several rounds of quiet talks between Tehran and Washington over a possible nuclear deal that US President Donald Trump is trying to finalise. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as of May 17, Iran has accumulated 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60 per cent—a 50 per cent rise from February's 274.8 kilograms. This level is just a technical step away from the 90 per cent enrichment needed for nuclear weapons. The IAEA warned that Iran is now 'the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material'— a development it described as a 'serious concern.' The agency noted that it is enough for about 10 nuclear weapons if further refined as 'approximately 42 kilograms of 60 per cent enriched uranium' is enough, if further enriched, to produce one atomic bomb. Though Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has previously warned that the country now possesses enough enriched uranium to potentially make 'several' nuclear bombs. Meanwhile, US intelligence assessments say Iran has not yet launched a weapons programme but has 'undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so,' AP reported. Grossi on Saturday reiterated his 'urgent call upon Iran to cooperate fully and effectively' with the IAEA's years-long investigation into unexplained uranium traces found at several undeclared sites. A second 22-page report, also shared confidentially with member states, criticised Iran's cooperation as 'less than satisfactory' and cited continuing concerns over locations where uranium particles were detected. These include Turquzabad, Varamin, and Marivan—sites the IAEA believes were linked to a 'structured nuclear programme' carried out until the early 2000s using undeclared nuclear material. One of these locations, Turquzabad, was first revealed in 2018 by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who described it as a 'clandestine nuclear warehouse' disguised as a rug-cleaning facility. Iran denied the claim, but IAEA inspectors later found manmade uranium particles there. A fourth site, Lavisan-Shian, which was demolished by Iran after 2003, remains part of the IAEA's probe despite never being inspected. The report could prompt further action from European countries, potentially including the reimposition of snapback sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal, which is set to formally expire in October. Iranian officials have downplayed expectations of a deal. On Thursday, senior figures in Tehran said any agreement must involve the full lifting of sanctions and permit continued nuclear development. Their remarks followed President Trump's comment that he had urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to delay any strike on Iran, giving Washington more time to pursue diplomacy. Trump said on Friday that he still believes a deal is possible in the 'not too distant future.' 'They don't want to be blown up. They would rather make a deal,' he said of Iran. He added, 'That would be a great thing that we could have a deal without bombs being dropped all over the Middle East.' However, Israel on Saturday accused Iran of being 'totally determined' to acquire nuclear weapons. 'Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever,' said a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reiterated Tehran's opposition to nuclear arms. 'If the issue is nuclear weapons, yes, we too consider this type of weapon unacceptable,' Araghchi, who is also Iran's lead negotiator in the US-Iran talks, said in a televised speech, as per BBC. 'We agree with them on this issue.' (With inputs from Associated Press, BBC, Reuters)

The DailyBeast wrote in its report, "Sanctuary jurisdictions—such as entire states like California and major cities including New York City and Chicago—are typically Democrat-run areas that limit or deny cooperation with federal immigration authorities. This includes refusing to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before releasing undocumented migrants from custody." Donald Trump's Promise of Mass Deportations According to DailyBeast, those who are named on the list would get a formal notification from the Trump administration about their alleged noncompliance with federal laws, and DHS would also demand that these jurisdictions 'immediately review and revise their policies' to align with the US president's immigration agenda.

Democratic Governors Push Back While, a Democrat, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, said, 'It is important for local law enforcement to continue to fully cooperate with other state and federal agencies on criminal matters, including the execution of warrants. In fact, this is their duty,' adding, 'But to be clear, state and local law enforcement cannot be commandeered to enforce federal civil immigration laws and taken away from fighting crime,' quoted DailyBeast. FAQs What happens to places on the list? They'll receive formal warnings and be asked to change their laws to support Trump's immigration agenda. Which places are on the list? Major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and entire states such as California and Colorado have been named.

Sanjay Raut: Deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde should resign over Supreme Court strictures on twin tunnel tender
Nashik: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut called for deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde's resignation from his position as minister for public works (public enterprises), following Supreme Court's strictures on the MMRDA tender process. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During his visit to Jalgaon on Saturday, Raut said, "If Prime Minister Narendra Modi stands against corrupt practices, he should immediately call for the resignation of Eknath Shinde over the issue." The Supreme Court passed strictures on the tender related to the Thane Ghodbunder Bhayandar twin tunnel. Raut said, "There was a direct appreciation of Rs 3,000crore in the Rs 14,000crore contract for the twin tunnel. L&T challenged the tender in the Supreme Court, which passed strictures." Raut expressed concern about chief minister Devendra Fadnavis's inaction towards state corruption. "After the Supreme Court's strictures, all that Fadnavis said was that he would not tolerate corruption in the bureaucracy. How did Fadnavis fail to see the corruption in this case and fail to take any action against it?" he asked. Addressing NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar's potential alignment with BJP, Raut assured that Pawar's supporters were certain he would not join communal forces. "Pawar has been the torchbearer of Shahu, Phule, and Ambedkar ideologies, and all those who are with Sharad Pawar are confident that he will never join hands with such forces," said Raut. Raut criticised the three ministers from Jalgaon regarding a tribal woman's roadside delivery. "The world knows how the three parties won the elections by manipulating EVMs, electoral rolls, and using administrative force. The govt benches still are unable to believe they won elections. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They are not grounded and, hence, they fail to understand the needs of the people. We fail to understand why a tribal woman was forced to deliver a baby on the roadside due to a lack of medical facilities despite three cabinet ministers coming from the district," he said. Core committee to decide candidates During a meeting with party functionaries in Jalgaon, Raut announced the formation of a six-member core committee. This committee would analyse the Jalgaon Municipal Corporation situation and compile a list of potential candidates for the upcoming corporation elections.
