US President Trump called on Supreme Court to curb federal judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions blocking his administration’s decisions. Analysts predict this move could strain ties between America’s judiciary and executive branches — AP report.

Federal courts currently handle over 100 lawsuits challenging Trump administration actions with some judges imposing nationwide halts. Debate recently intensified over pausing an order to end birthright citizenship prompting Trump’s team to request the Supreme Court shrink judicial power.

On Truth Social, Trump claimed federal judges’ repeated interference disrupts his executive orders, hindering administration work. He urged swift action warning Chief Justice John Roberts and Supreme Court that failure to address this unprecedented situation could plunge the nation into crisis.

Chief Justice Roberts countered stating disagreements, with judicial rulings should resolve through appeals. Not impeachment calls against judges which he deemed inappropriate.

Analysts note the Supreme Court’s current makeup including three Trump-appointed justices from his first term, might favor him. Yet success hinges on the court’s final ruling.
