Trump Warns US Supreme Court Ruling Against Tariffs Could Cost Trillions, Calls It 'Screwed'

  • Donald Trump warned of 'trillions of dollars' in losses if the US Supreme Court curbs his administration's tariff powers.
  • He stated a ruling against the government could force the US to repay 'many hundreds of billions of dollars' in collected tariffs.
  • Trump also highlighted potential 'payback' claims from countries and companies that invested to avoid duties, totaling 'trillions'.
  • He framed tariffs as a 'national security bonanza' and dismissed claims that repayments could be handled quickly or easily.
  • The Supreme Court is weighing a legal challenge to Trump's tariff powers, with a ruling date still unclear.

Why It Matters: Trump warns a Supreme Court decision against tariffs could lead to trillions in losses and a 'complete mess' for the US.
