WASHINGTON — The Su-preme Court cleared the way onMonday for President Trump toprohibit the entry of some peopleinto the United States from coun-tries he deems dangerous, but thejustices imposed strict limits onMr. Trump’s travel ban while theyexamine the scope of presidentialpower over the border.

Mr. Trump quickly hailed thecourt’s decision to hear argu-ments on the travel ban in Octo-ber, saying — in a formal WhiteHouse statement, not a tweet —that the justices’ temporary liftingof some of the legal roadblocks tohis ban was a “clear victory” fornational security.

“As president, I cannot allowpeople into our country who wantto do us harm,” Mr. Trump wrote,calling his efforts to limit entryinto the country a “suspension” in-stead of a ban. “I want people whocan love the United States and allof its citizens, and who will behardworking and productive.”

He later tweeted: “Very grate-ful for the 9-O decision from theU. S. Supreme Court. We mustkeep America SAFE!”

But those challenging the travelban said the court’s opinion wouldprotect the vast majority of peopleseeking to enter the United Statesto visit a relative, accept a job, at-tend a university or deliver aspeech. The court said the bancould not be imposed on anyonewho had “a credible claim of abona fide relationship with a per-son or entity in the United States.”

LONDON — Two productsmade by American manufac-turers that played a major role inthe deadly inferno in London hadbeen assailed for their fire risksand faced tighter restrictions inthe United States.

Such regulatory gaps expose

how multinational corporationscan take advantage of the vulnera-bilities in government oversight.

The companies, Arconic andWhirlpool, are widely expected tobe central players in litigationover the fire, which killed at least79 people this month. The Metro-politan Police have also said theywill consider manslaughteramong other charges; in Britain,

corporations can be charged withmanslaughter.

On Monday, Arconic, the Ameri-can company once known as Al-coa that sold combustible ma-terial used at Grenfell Tower, theLondon housing project that wasthe site of the fire, said it would nolonger sell that kind of panelingfor use in high-rises. The product,only slightly cheaper than fire-re-

sistant alternatives, has a poly-ethylene core that is combustible.

The use of that material isbanned in buildings above a cer-tain height in the United States,and the company included a simi-lar warning about height restric-tions in its own brochure in otherparts of Europe. Investigatorshave found 75 buildings across

CAPE GRIM, Tasmania — Onthe best days, the wind howlingacross this rugged promontoryhas not touched land for thou-sands of miles, and the arrivingair seems as if it should be thecleanest in the world.

But on a cliff above the sea, in-side a low-slung governmentbuilding, a bank of sophisticatedmachines sniffs that air day andnight, revealing telltale indicatorsof the way human activity is alter-ing the planet on a major scale.

For more than two years, themonitoring station here, alongwith its counterparts across theworld, has been flashing a warn-ing: The excess carbon dioxidescorching the planet rose at thehighest rate on record in 2015 and2016. A slightly slower but still un-usual rate of increase hascontinued into 2017.

Scientists are concerned aboutthe cause of the rapid rises be-cause, in one of the most hopefulsigns since the global climate cri-sis became widely understood inthe 1980s, the amount of carbon di-oxide that people are pumpinginto the air seems to have stabi-lized in recent years, at least judg-ing from the data that countriescompile on their own emissions.

That raises a conundrum: If the

WASHINGTON — The Senatebill to repeal the Affordable CareAct was edging toward collapseon Monday after the nonpartisanCongressional Budget Office saidit would increase the number ofpeople without health insuranceby 22 million by 2026.

Two Republicans, Senators Su-san Collins of Maine and RandPaul of Kentucky, said Mondaythat they would vote against evendebating the health care bill, join-ing Senator Dean Heller of Neva-da, who made the same pledge onFriday. Senator Ron Johnson ofWisconsin hinted that he, too,would probably oppose taking upthe bill on a procedural vote ex-pected as early as Tuesday, mean-ing a collapse could be imminent.

“It’s worse to pass a bad billthan pass no bill,” Mr. Paul toldreporters.

Ms. Collins wrote on Twitter onMonday evening that she wantedto work with her colleagues fromboth parties to fix flaws in the Af-fordable Care Act, but that thebudget office’s report showed thatthe “Senate bill won’t do it.”

The report left Senator MitchMcConnell of Kentucky, the ma-jority leader, with the unenviablechoices of changing senators’stated positions, withdrawing thebill from consideration while herenegotiates, or letting it go downto defeat — a remarkable conclu-sion to the Republicans’ seven-year push to repeal PresidentBarack Obama’s signature do-mestic achievement.

But the budget office put Re-publicans in an untenable posi-tion. It found that next year, 15 mil-lion more people would be unin-sured compared with current law.Premiums and out-of-pocket ex-penses could shoot skyward forsome low-income people and forpeople nearing retirement, it said.

The legislation would decreasefederal deficits by a total of $321

billion over a decade, the budgetoffice said.

Mr. McConnell, the chief authorof the bill, wanted the Senate toapprove it before a planned recessfor the Fourth of July, but thatlooks increasingly doubtful. Mis-givings in the Republican confer-ence extend beyond just a few ofthe most moderate and conserva-tive members, and Mr. McConnellcan lose only two Republicans.

At least some of Ms. Collins’sconcerns could be shared by Sena-tors Lisa Murkowski of Alaskaand Shelley Moore Capito of WestVirginia, whose rural states would

face effects similar to those inMaine.

“If you were on the fence, youwere looking at this as a politicalvote, this C.B.O. score didn’t helpyou,” said Senator Lindsey Gra-ham, Republican of South Car-olina. “So I think it’s going to beharder to get to 50, not easier.”

He added, “I don’t know, if youdelayed it for six weeks, if any-thing changes.”

Under the bill, the budget officesaid, subsidies to help people buyhealth insurance would be “sub-

AL DRAGO FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

WASHINGTON — The Su-preme Court agreed on Monday tohear an appeal from a Coloradobaker with religious objections tosame-sex marriage who had lost adiscrimination case for refusing tocreate a cake to celebrate such aunion.

The case will be a major test of aclash between laws that ban busi-

nesses open to the public from dis-criminating based on sexual ori-entation and claims of religiousfreedom. Around the nation, busi-nesses like bakeries, florists andphotography studios have said, sofar with little success, that forcingthem to serve gay couples violatestheir constitutional rights.

The Supreme Court’s decision,expected next year, will again takethe justices into a heated battle inthe culture wars. On one side are

gay and lesbian couples who saythey are entitled to equal treat-ment from businesses that chooseto serve the general public. On theother are religious people andcompanies who say the govern-ment should not force them tochoose between the requirementsof their faiths and their liveli-hoods.

When the Lab Gets It Wrong

TORONTO — As right-wingpopulism has roiled elections andupended politics across the West,there is one country wherepopulists have largely failed tobreak through: Canada.

The raw ingredients arepresent. A white ethnic majoritythat is losing its demographicdominance. A sharp rise in immi-gration that is changing cultureand communities. News mediaand political personalities whobet big on white backlash.

Yet Canada’s politics remainstable. Its centrist liberal estab-lishment is popular. Not onlyhave the politics of white back-lash failed, but immigration andracial diversity are sources ofnational pride. And when anti-establishment outsiders have runthe populist playbook, they havefound defeat.

Outsiders might assume this isbecause Canada is simply moreliberal, but they would be wrong.Rather, Canada has resisted thepopulist wave through a set ofstrategic decisions, powerfulinstitutional incentives, strongminority coalitions and idiosyn-cratic circumstances.
