President Trump Holds a Press Conference Regarding SCOTUS Tariff Ruling

BREAKING - SCOTUS Rules Trump's Tariffs Are Illegal

Trump says he's considering striking Iran over nuclear program

Iran's foreign minister said on Friday he expected to have a draft counterproposal ready within days following nuclear talks this week as U.S. President Donald Trump said he was considering limited military strikes. Asked if he was considering a limited strike to pressure Iran into a deal on its nuclear program, Trump told reporters at the White House, “I guess I can say I am considering" it. Two U.S. officials told Reuters that U.S. military planning on Iran has reached an advanced stage, with options including targeting individuals as part of an attack and even pursuing leadership change in Tehran, if ordered by Trump. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, in an interview earlier on Friday on MS NOW, said his draft counterproposal could be ready in the next two or three days for top Iranian officials to review, with more U.S.-Iran talks possible in a week or so. Military action would complicate efforts to reach a deal, he added. On Thursday, Trump gave Tehran a deadline of 10-15 days to make a deal or face "really bad things" amid a U.S. military buildup in the Middle East that has fueled fears of a wider war. Araqchi gave no specific timing as to when Iranians would get their counterproposal to U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, but said he believed a diplomatic deal was within reach and could be achieved "in a very short period of time." During talks in Geneva this week, the United States did not seek zero uranium enrichment and Iran did not offer to suspend enrichment, he told MS NOW, a U.S. cable television news network. "We have not offered any suspension and the U.S. side has not asked for zero enrichment," Araqchi said. "What we are now talking about is how to make sure that Iran's nuclear program, including enrichment, is peaceful and would remain peaceful forever." He added that technical and political "confidence-building measures" would be enacted to ensure the program would remain peaceful in exchange for action on sanctions, but he gave no further details. “The president has been clear that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons or the capacity to build them, and that they cannot enrich uranium,” the White House said when asked about Araqchi's comments.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump's Global Tariffs

The Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump’s far-reaching global tariffs on Friday, handing him a significant loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda. The decision on Friday centers on tariffs imposed under an emergency powers law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs he levied on nearly every other country. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of three conservative jurists in his first term. The Republican president has been vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in U.S. history. But legal opposition crossed the political spectrum.
