In a social media post, Trump said the move followed what he described as a flawed and “anti-American” ruling by the high court. The decision, delivered in a 6–3 vote, found that Trump had exceeded his authority by using emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose broad import taxes. The Court made clear that the Constitution…

The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, made clear that the Constitution assigns the power to levy taxes — including tariffs — to Congress alone. “The Framers did not vest any part of the taxing power…
US President Donald Trump delivered his latest ultimatum to Iran on Thursday during a Board of Peace meeting. He formed this Middle East coalition to stabilise the region. He could soon drag that region into a new war. The clash between calls for peace and threats of military action exposes the contradictions in Trump’s second-term foreign policy. The standoff between Washington and Tehran illustrates this tension most clearly. The escalation could trigger the largest US air campaign in years. Trump said he prefers diplomacy and wants a deal to end Iran’s nuclear weapons programme. A White House official said Iran…
