• Summary

• Arguments over Trump’s birthright citizenship order
• Trump has denounced the court since its tariffs ruling
• Trump has sought to limit birthright citizenship
• Lower court blocked his policy as unconstitutional

WASHINGTON, April 1 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump made a historic visit to the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to attend arguments over the legality of a policy he considers crucial to his hardline approach toward immigration – a directive he signed on his first day back in office that would limit birthright citizenship.

The Republican president ​sat in the first row of the public section of seating in the ornate courtroom but departed not long after the lawyer arguing for his administration completed his presentation and the attorney for the ‌challengers began hers. Trump quietly left, accompanied by Secret Service personnel.

Trump was driven by motorcade from the White House and arrived before the arguments, wearing a red tie and dark suit. Trump and other attendees rose to their feet as the court marshal made the customary announcement beginning with “Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!” – meaning “Hear ye!” – to mark the beginning of the court session. Trump, joined by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, was at the courthouse for a bit more than an hour and a half.

Chief Justice John Roberts did not acknowledge Trump’s presence before announcing the beginning of arguments ​in the case known as Trump v. Barbara.

Outside the neoclassical courthouse on Capitol Hill, demonstrators gathered ahead of the arguments, some holding anti-Trump signs including ones reading “Trump must go now.”

Above Trump in the courtroom were friezes featuring ​symbols and personages of law and order, from the biblical figure Moses bearing the Ten Commandments to the Chinese philosopher Confucius through former Chief Justice John Marshall whose opinion ⁠in a landmark decision established the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review.

Trump faced forward toward the bench where the nine justices were seated as applicants to the Supreme Court bar were identified by name, raised their right hand and swore an ​oath stating that “as an attorney and as a counselor of this Court, I will conduct myself uprightly and according to law, and that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”

There appeared to be more security personnel than usual in ​the courtroom.

The Supreme Court has backed Trump in a series of rulings issued on an emergency basis since he returned to the presidency last year. Those decisions came on matters including immigration, mass federal layoffs, cutting foreign aid, dismantling the Education Department, banning transgender people from the military and other areas.

But the court on February 20 ruled against Trump in a major case testing the legality of the sweeping global tariffs he imposed last year under a law meant for use in national emergencies. Since the tariffs ruling, Trump has lashed out repeatedly at the ​Supreme Court and the six justices who ruled against him in that case.

Trump is the first sitting president to attend an oral argument at the Supreme Court, according to Clare Cushman, the resident historian at the Supreme Court Historical Society. ​There are examples of 19th century presidents arguing cases before the court – though not while in office – including John Quincy Adams, Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison. William Howard Taft, who served as president from 1909 to 1913, later became the chief justice on the Supreme ‌Court.

Trump’s motorcade drove ⁠from the White House along Constitution Avenue and then Independence Avenue, passing the Washington Monument and the National Mall, with crowds watching from the sidewalk.

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority includes three justices appointed by Trump during his first term in office – Neil Gorsuch in 2017, Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 and Amy Coney Barrett in 2020.

Barrett’s appointment gave the court its current conservative super-majority and ushered in an epoch in which the court has moved American law dramatically to the right including rulings rolling back abortion rights, rejecting race-conscious collegiate admissions policies, limiting the power of U.S. regulatory agencies and more.

Trump and senior officials in his administration often have denounced judges who have issued rulings against his policies, sometimes in highly personal terms.

‘THEY SICKEN ME’

Three ​of the court’s six conservative justices – Chief Justice John ​Roberts as well as Gorsuch and Barrett – joined with ⁠the court’s three liberal members in ruling that Trump had overstepped his authority in imposing tariffs.

Trump was incensed at Gorsuch and Barrett in particular, calling them on the day of that ruling “an embarrassment to their families.” And last week, Trump kept up his condemnation of his two appointees, saying that “they sicken me because they’re bad for our country.”

Trump after the tariffs ruling said ​he was “ashamed” of the three conservative justices who ruled against him, calling them “fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical-left Democrats.” RINO, meaning “Republican in name only,” is a ​term sometimes used by conservative Republicans ⁠to insult fellow Republicans viewed as disloyal to the party.

Trump after the ruling also claimed that the court “has been swayed by foreign interests,” but declined to provide any evidence.

A lower court blocked Trump’s executive order directing U.S. agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a “green card” holder.

Trump’s administration has said that granting citizenship to virtually anyone born on U.S. soil has created incentives for illegal immigration and led ⁠to “birth tourism,” by ​which foreigners travel to the United States to give birth and secure citizenship for their children.

Trump wrote on social media last year: “Birthright Citizenship was ​not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at the ‘SUCKERS’ that we are!”

Trump added: “But the drug cartels love it! We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, ​in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.”

Trump admin moves Forest Service HQ to Utah in latest DC relocation push

April 1, 2026 10:46am EDT / Fox News

The Trump administration is moving the Forest Service’s headquarters out of Washington and into Salt Lake City, Utah, as part of a broader push to shift federal agencies closer to the regions they oversee and reduce the footprint of government in the nation’s capital.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the move Tuesday and said it will begin a sweeping restructuring of the agency, relocating leadership and redistributing authority across the country in an effort officials say will improve decision-making, cut costs and strengthen hiring.

The shift represents a significant structural change to how the Forest Service operates, moving top leadership and key functions closer to the western states where the majority of national forest land is located and where wildfire risk and land management demands are most concentrated.

“President Trump has made it a priority to return common sense to the way our government works. Moving the Forest Service closer to the forests we manage is an essential action that will improve our core mission of managing our forests while saving taxpayer dollars and boosting employee recruitment,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement announcing the move.

“Establishing a western headquarters in Salt Lake City and streamlining how the Forest Service is organized will position the Chief and operational leaders closer to the landscapes we manage and the people who depend on them.”

Under the plan, the agency will adopt a state-based structure designed to push more authority out of Washington and into the field.

Fifteen state directors will oversee operations nationwide, managing forest supervisors, setting priorities and coordinating with state, tribal and local partners. Each office will be supported by small teams handling communications, legislative affairs and intergovernmental work.

The restructuring will eliminate the agency’s regional office system, with all regional offices set to close as part of the transition. Many administrative functions will shift to service centers across the country, while officials said frontline operations, including wildfire response, will remain unchanged. The changes are expected to roll out over the coming year.

The relocation builds on a broader effort by the Trump administration to move parts of the federal government outside Washington, including the relocation of the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters to Colorado during his first term and the transfer of key USDA research agencies to Kansas City.

The administration has framed the moves as a cost-saving push to decentralize government, shift power out of Washington and bring decision-making closer to on-the-ground operations.

The push comes despite some high-profile proposals that have not materialized, including earlier discussions about moving the FBI headquarters out of Washington.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox hailed the relocation as a “big win for Utah and the West.”

“Nearly 90% of Forest Service lands are west of the Mississippi, so putting leadership closer to the lands they manage just makes sense,” Cox said.

“This isn’t symbolic. It means better, faster decisions on the ground. Everyone who depends on our public lands, from hikers and campers to ranchers and timber producers, will benefit from this change. Moving away from a regional model to a more state-focused approach strengthens federalism and helps the Forest Service do its job more effectively.”

特朗普称伊朗要求停火 或两三周结束战争

2026年4月1日 20:04 / 联合早报

根据路透社取得的视频，伊朗红新月会代表在视频中表示，4月1日，德黑兰西部的一个居民区遭到袭击，一栋大楼被炸毁。 （路透社）

（华盛顿/耶路撒冷综合电）美国总统特朗普说，伊朗已向美国提出停火要求，但在伊朗结束封锁霍尔木兹海峡前，美国将继续对伊朗的军事行动。他此前一天说，无论是否达成协议，美国都可能会在两三周内结束对伊朗的军事行动。

特朗普星期三（4月1日）在社交媒体发文称：“伊朗新政权总统远没有前任们那么激进，且更加睿智，他刚刚向美国请求停火！我们会在霍尔木兹海峡恢复开放、自由与通畅后考虑停火。在那之前，我们会把伊朗炸成灰烬，或者说送回石器时代！”

目前不清楚，“新政权总统”是否指自2024年便出任伊朗总统的佩泽希齐扬。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队随即回应，它仍牢牢地控制着霍尔木兹海峡，这条运输要道不会因为“美国总统荒谬作秀而向敌人开放”。

特朗普星期二（3月31日）在白宫告诉媒体，美国很快就会撤离伊朗战场，时间可能在两三周内。

被问及外交斡旋取得成功，是否是美国结束军事行动的先决条件，特朗普说：“不，伊朗不必达成协议。”他再度声称，伊朗比美国更迫切希望达成协议，而如果双方达成协议，战事或可更快结束。

美国国务卿鲁比奥同日接受福克斯新闻访问时也称，战争终点线已近在眼前。他说：“不是今天，也不会是明天，但快了。”他也提到，美伊双方可能会在某个时间点举行会晤。

阿拉格齐：伊朗对美国信任度为零 无谈判基础

伊朗外长阿拉格齐则称，伊朗对美国的信任度为零，双方没有谈判基础。他在半岛电视台周三播出的访问中说：“美国总统必须从根本上改变他的做法。你不能用威胁和最后通牒的语言，与伊朗人民说话。”

阿拉格齐也澄清，伊朗未就美方的15点停战提案做出回应。他还说，敌人为自己设定的时间表对伊朗没有意义，伊朗已做好再战至少六个月的准备。

阿拉格齐表明：“我们不接受停火。我们寻求彻底结束战争，不仅是伊朗，而是整个中东地区的战争。我们也寻求保障，以确保冲突不会重演，并赔偿伊朗人民的损失。”

美国此前威胁，如果德黑兰不接受美国15点方案，就会加大对伊朗的攻势。美国布什号航母打击群星期二从弗吉尼亚州的基地出发，有消息称它将成为部署到中东的第三艘航母。

特朗普称，他已推动伊朗政权更迭，但指这不是他发动战争的目标。他说：“我的目标只有一个，阻止他们获得核武器，而这个目标已经达成。”

特朗普说，伊朗将有多年时间无法制造核武器。但他也称：“或许在很久以后，他们会有能力制造核武器，到时会有一位像我一样的总统，他会去狠狠地打击他们。”

他周三接受路透社访问时重申，美国很快将撤出伊朗战场，但若有需要可能会返回进行“定点打击”。

白宫说，特朗普定于美东时间周三晚9时（新加坡时间周四上午9时）发表全国讲话，就伊朗战争发布更新的重要消息。

民调：逾六成美国人认为应尽快结束冲突

随着中东战争推高汽油价格，共和党人越来越担心，这会影响他们在年底中期选举的胜算。路透社与益普索最新民调显示，三分之二的美国人认为，美国应尽快结束这场冲突，即便这意味着特朗普政府无法实现战争目标。

特朗普星期二再次对美国盟友拒绝协助重新开放霍尔木兹海峡表示不满，称不会插手霍尔木兹海峡的事。他告诉《纽约邮报》：“他们（伊朗）已经失去力量，让那些使用海峡的国家自己去打通它吧。”

特朗普接受英国《每日电讯报》访问时更称，他正认真考虑让美国退出北约，并形容这个军事联盟是“纸老虎”。

胡塞武装再度袭击以色列南部多个“敏感目标”

另一方面，也门胡塞武装星期三宣布，对以色列南部的多个“敏感目标”发动了第三轮导弹袭击，并指此次袭击是与伊朗和黎巴嫩真主党联合进行的。

胡塞武装在一份声明中警告：“以色列对黎巴嫩、伊朗、伊拉克和巴勒斯坦的侵略、犯罪和袭击，只会把我们推向进一步的军事升级。”胡塞官员称，它的进一步行动选项包括封锁曼德海峡。

此前一天，以色列总理内坦亚胡发表电视讲话称，对伊朗的军事行动尚未结束。他誓言：“我们会继续粉碎（伊朗）恐怖政权。”

韩国政府将研究可否经红海运原油

韩国政府将研究可否经红海运原油

韩国从星期四（2日）零时起，将针对原油的资源安全危机预警，从第二级别的“注意”上调至第三级别的“警惕”。 （法新社）

韩国总统李在明发出指示，要政府研究从中东经红海运输原油的可行性，以便缓解因伊朗战事导致的供应中断。

路透社报道，韩国总统办公室星期三（4月1日）发布上述消息。

随着美伊战事和霍尔木兹海峡封锁的持续，全球能源危机日益凸显，在探寻原油运输的替代航线的同时，韩国政府也再次上调针对原油的资源安全危机预警至“警惕”。

韩联社报道，韩国产业通商部星期三宣布，经过有关部门会议决定，从星期四（2日）零时起，将针对原油的资源安全危机预警，从第二级别的“注意”上调至第三级别的“警惕”。

针对天然气的危机预警，也会从第一级别的“关注”上调至第二级别的“注意”。

韩国资源安全危机预警从低到高共分四级，分别为关注、注意、警惕、严重。

中东战争打响之后，韩国政府3月5日首次针对原油发布“关注”预警；之后因霍尔木兹海峡持续封锁等导致能源供应告急，又于18日将预警级别上调至“注意”。

当局说，由于国际原油市场采购出现部分问题，加之国内原油库存已减少20%，开始对经济和产业产生影响，政府决定再次提升预警级别。

韩国政府试图加强供需管理，鼓励民间部门从其他渠道获取原油，并收紧民官需求管控力度，扩大实施车辆尾号限行范围，同时加强对石脑油和石油制品供应链的管理。

Trump, Bondi watch historic SCOTUS arguments as justices duel over birthright citizenship

April 1, 2026 11:03am EDT / Fox News

Trump attended oral arguments Wednesday, signaling just how important he views the case at hand

By Breanne Deppisch, Bill Mears, Shannon Bream, Fox News

The Supreme Court on Wednesday pressed the lawyer for the Trump administration on so-called “birthright citizenship” protections in the U.S., part of a landmark court challenge that could upend more than a century of legal precedent and executive branch policy.

The questions come as justices weighed the legality of the executive order Trump signed on his first day back in office. The order in question seeks to end automatic citizenship — or “birthright citizenship” — for nearly all persons born in the U.S. to undocumented parents, or to parents with temporary non-immigrant visas in the U.S.

As oral arguments kicked off, justices appeared somewhat skeptical of the Trump administration’s arguments, including its view of the 14th Amendment, and pressed the Trump administration’s lawyer, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, on the administration’s reading of the citizenship clause.

Chief Justice John Roberts told Sauer that he viewed one of the key arguments made by the Trump administration in its case as “quirky.”

FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP’S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BAN FOR ALL INFANTS, TESTING LOWER COURT POWERS

“You obviously put a lot of weight on [the] ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’ issue,” Roberts told Sauer. He noted the administration cited “children of ambassadors, children of enemies during a hostile invasion, children on warships. And then you expand it to a whole class of illegal aliens here in the country,” Roberts said. “I’m not quite sure how you can get to that big group from such tiny and sort of idiosyncratic examples.”

Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch also expressed skepticism during early questions, and pressed Sauer on key issues of precedent, enforcement, and the text of the citizenship clause itself.

“We’re in a new world now,” Sauer said, noting that “some 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who’s a U.S. citizen.”

“It’s a new world, but it’s the same constitution,” Roberts said in response.

Trump’s executive order was immediately met with a flurry of federal lawsuits last year, and to date, no U.S. court has sided with the administration on the issue.

Trump himself attended Supreme Court oral arguments, making him the first sitting U.S. president to do so. Other administration officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, were also in the audience.

TRUMP TO BEGIN ENFORCING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ORDER AS EARLY AS THIS MONTH, DOJ SAYS

SUPREME COURT SIGNALS IT MAY LIMIT KEY VOTING RIGHTS ACT RULE

A ruling in Trump’s favor would represent a seismic shift for immigration policy in the U.S., and would upend long-held notions of citizenship that Trump and his allies argue are misguided.

It would also yield immediate, operational consequences for infants born in the U.S., putting the impetus on Congress and the Trump administration to immediately act to clarify their status.

美国总统特朗普现身最高法院，旁听关于他终止出生公民权政策的合法性辩论。他是美国首个在任时出席最高法院口头辩论的总统。

路透社报道，美国最高法院星期三（4月1日）就特朗普政府限制出生公民权一案进行口头辩论。特朗普的车队从白宫出发，途经华盛顿纪念碑和国家广场，抵达最高法院。

车辆所经之处，人行道上挤满围观人群，最高法院外则聚集大批示威者，一些人要求特朗普下台。

特朗普2025年年初签署结束出生公民权的行政令，引发美国移民群体和维权组织抗议，并招致激烈的法律博弈。

特朗普政府声称，几乎任何在美出生的人都享有公民权，创造了非法移民激励并导致“生育旅游”。

Gas prices hit $4.06 a gallon before Trump’s prime-time address

U.S. gasoline prices continue to inch higher, hitting $4.06 a gallon after crossing $4 on Tuesday, as the Iran war continues to drive up costs for American drivers.

The average cost of a gallon of gas has jumped 36% since the war started, according to AAA. Gas climbed above $4 yesterday for the first time since August 2022.

The war in Iran is disrupting the world’s oil supply, pushing up prices at the pump. Brent crude accounts for 51% of the cost of a gallon of gas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the global oil supply flows, remains effectively closed, with a new analysis from Lloyd’s List Intelligence showing that most of the ships transiting the waterway are linked to Iran.

Trump prime-time address

President Trump told CBS News Tuesday that gas prices will drop “when we leave, when it’s over.”

The president is planning to deliver a prime-time address Wednesday night to “provide an important update on Iran,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X. The president has signaled that he is aiming to strike deal with Iran and wrap the war up in a matter of weeks.

Leavitt has also addressed rising fuel prices, telling CBS News in a Tuesday email, “When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions.”

Slashing energy prices was one of the main promises Mr. Trump made on the campaign trail.

Even with hopes for a potential resolution to the conflict, Patrick De Haan, a petroleum expert at GasBuddy, thinks gas prices could continue to float higher in the short term. He said on X Wednesday that he expects several states, including Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, could see their gas prices rose today. De Haan also predicts the national average will reach $4.10 a gallon this week.

“The next chapter may be written tonight when Trump addresses the nation,” he said.
