Get the latest news from the Trump administration Sunday, as President Trump blasted two of his Supreme Court picks.

He accused Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett of betrayal for siding against his administration in a major tariffs case in a lengthy Truth Social post.

“I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people. What is the reason for this?” he lamented.

Earlier, Trump warned Iran against “playing games” after the Islamic Republic refused to discuss its nuclear program in its latest peace deal offer.

Meanwhile, Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicated the administration is open to the possibility of temporarily suspending the gas tax to give Americans relief amid the fallout from the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re open to all ideas, everything has tradeoffs,” Wright told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“All ideas to lower prices for American consumers and American businesses.”

Trump blasts conservative Supreme Court justices for siding against him on major tariffs case

By Zoe Hussain

President Trump blasted two of his Supreme Court picks on Sunday, accusing Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett of betrayal for siding against his administration in a major tariffs case.

Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social rant Sunday that he "loved Gorsuch" and had "always liked and respected" Barrett — but slammed the pair for what he called a "devastating move" that "cost the US $159 billion."

The post appears to reference a February ruling in which the Supreme Court said Trump cannot use emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on foreign imports — leaving the White House facing the prospect of paying back tens of billions of dollars to traders.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justices Barrett and Gorsuch, as well as liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

"They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly!" Trump wrote.

"With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to “PACK THE COURT” any longer. In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT!" he added.

"I’m working so hard to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and then people that I appointed have shown so little respect to our Country, and its people. What is the reason for this?"

He then griped that Republican-appointed justices have gone "out of their way" to oppose him, to "show how 'independent' or 'above it all,' they are."

"Well, maybe Neil, and Amy, just had a really bad day, but our Country can only handle so many decisions of that magnitude before it breaks down, and cracks!!!" Trump wrote.

"I don’t want loyalty, but I do want and expect it for our Country."

Trump expects response from Iran 'tonight' on proposed peace deal

By Victor Nava

President Trump told reporters Friday that he expects to hear from Iran "tonight" on a proposal to end hostilities in the region.

“I’m getting a letter supposedly tonight. So we'll see how that goes,” Trump said as he prepared to depart the White House for a dinner at his golf course in Northern Virginia.

When asked if he thought Iran was slow-walking the process, the president responded: "I don't know. We’ll find out soon enough.”

The one-page memorandum of understanding Trump is waiting to hear back on is expected to serve as the foundation for a broader treaty to be negotiated at a later date.

The US has offered to ease sanctions in exchange for Iran halting uranium enrichment and the reopening of commercial shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, sources familiar with negotiation efforts have told The Post.

Pentagon touts 'overwhelming response' to UFO files -- 340 million hits in 12 hours

By Victor Nava

The War Department on Friday celebrated the "overwhelming response" to the release of files related to UFO sightings.

"The Department of War celebrates the launch of WAR.GOV/UFO as a major milestone in government transparency," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell wrote on X.

"In just 12 hours, the site has received 340 MILLION hits from Americans and truth seekers worldwide seeking unfiltered UAP [unidentified aerial phenomena] information," he added.

Parnell said the "overwhelming response underscores the Trump administration’s strong commitment to openness," noting the department will "continue expanding this UAP transparency initiative to ensure Americans have direct access to the information they deserve."

Rubio voices support for NATO in Italy amid alliance tensions with Trump

By Emily Goodin

Secretary of State Marco Rubio described himself as "a strong supporter of NATO” amid tensions between President Trump and the members of the alliance.

“I’ve been a strong supporter of NATO throughout my career in the Senate and even now,” Rubio told reporters in Italy after he met with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday.

But, the secretary added, the point of being in NATO is for allies to help “in case of contingencies," which did not happen when the US attacked Iran.

“We had a contingency. And some countries in Europe – some countries in Europe like Spain, as an example – denied us the use of those bases for a very important contingency, that in some ways the denial of those bases actually impeded the mission,” he said.

Trump has described the bloc as a "paper tiger" and threatened to withdraw US troops from Italy and Spain. Rubio said he had no announcements to make about American forces, noting it was the president's decision.

Trump announces three-day Ukraine-Russia cease-fire, prisoner swap

By Steven Nelson

President Trump said Friday that Ukraine and Russia will embark on a three-day cease-fire that could be the "beginning of the end" of the more than four-year-old war — as both nations pause to celebrate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans for the cease-fire earlier this week. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the truce would last three days, including Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

"This Ceasefire will include a suspension of all kinetic activity, and also a prison swap of 1,000 prisoners from each Country. This request was made directly by me," Trump wrote.

"Hopefully, it is the beginning of the end of a very long, deadly, and hard fought War. Talks are continuing on ending this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day."

'Even cooler' UFO files coming in next tranches — as videos show unexplained phenomena

By Steven Nelson

The Pentagon's release of UFO files showed for the first time unexplained visual phenomena from the Apollo missions to the moon and in footage above the Middle East, but an administration official told The Post that "even cooler information" is coming in future tranches.

The initial Friday morning release of files, pursuant to President Trump's recent declassification order, contained no direct evidence of alien life but featured never-before-seen footage of objects seeming to whiz through the air with trajectories unlike common human-made aircraft.

Images released from the Apollo 12 and 17 missions of the 1960s and early '70s showed objects above the lunar surface.

Trump previously ordered the declassification of files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. — with those files doing little to fundamentally alter public understanding of history.

The administration's congressionally mandated release of files on late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, by contrast, started off with few bombshells before setting off a transatlantic firestorm with revelations that forced powerful men from their jobs and in cases yielding prosecutions.

The UFO files will continue to be released by the Department of War in the coming weeks.
