Supreme Court Limits Nationwide Injunctions Against Trump Policies

President Donald Trump recently achieved significant victories both internationally and domestically that have boosted his public image. Internationally, he announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, a move he touts as a successful peacemaking effort despite initial tensions. At a NATO summit in The Hague, Trump secured commitments from member countries to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, a key demand he had pushed for, further enhancing his stature. Domestically, the US Supreme Court issued a 6-3 conservative ruling limiting the authority of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions against Trump’s policies, a decision that could clear hurdles for his controversial executive orders such as the attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. While the court did not rule on the constitutionality of Trump's birthright citizenship decree, it mandated lower courts to reconsider nationwide blocks, potentially allowing his policies to take effect more broadly. Despite some concerns about possible legal loopholes that opponents may exploit, the ruling is seen as a major legal win for Trump and his administration.
