country\u2019s top court struck down trade tariffs imposed by the White House.<\/p>\n<p>In a 45-minute address to reporters at the White House, the US president heaped criticism on the six justices who ruled against his signature tariff policy in the 6-3 decision by the court on Friday, including Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump appointed to the court during his first term.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 4 items<\/span><span

Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>Shockingly, Trump also claimed that the Supreme Court \u201chas been swayed by foreign interests\u201d, without providing any evidence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4327442\"

[Mandel Ngan\/AFP]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Trump then warmly praised the three members of the court who dissented in the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to thank and congratulate Justices [Clarence] Thomas, [Samuel] Alito, and [Brett] Kavanaugh for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is, right now, very proud of those justices,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you read the dissenting opinions, there\u2019s no way that anyone can argue against them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Vance also sharply criticised the justices for their ruling, accusing them of \u201clawlessness\u201d in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the Supreme Court decided that Congress, despite giving the president the ability to \u2018regulate imports\u2019, didn\u2019t actually mean it,\u201d Vance wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple,\u201d said Vance, whose political profile rose to prominence after writing a memoir about his time at Yale Law School.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Vance\u2019s comments mark a rare rebuke of the nine-member Supreme Court, which currently has six members appointed by Trump\u2019s Republican Party and has often ruled in favour of his administration\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump calls Supreme Court
