A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed President Donald Trump to continue collecting tariffs under an emergency powers law, for now, as his administration appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies. 
Former Ministers Mahindananda Aluthgamage and Nalin Fernando, who were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment by the Colombo High Court on Wednesday (29), have been placed in a common ward at Welikada Prison, where they will be held with other general inmates. 
Power outages have been reported in several areas across the island, including Colombo, following heavy rains and strong winds that lashed parts of the country overnight (May 29). 
The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) says that as of now, a total of 29,015 electricity breakdowns have been reported across the country due to the prevailing adverse weather conditions. 
The Disaster Management Center (DMC) reports that a total of 1,757 individuals from 485 families have been affected by the adverse weather conditions currently impacting the island. 
Asian shares were mostly lower Friday as uncertainty grew about what will happen next after a U.S. court blocked many of President Donald Trump s sweeping tariffs. Copyright © 2007 - 2025 Col3neg. All Rights Reserved.
