Trump warns 'trillions of dollars' at risk if Supreme Court curbs tariff authority

  • Donald Trump warns of 'trillions of dollars' in losses if the Supreme Court rules against his reciprocal tariff policies.
  • He stated that hundreds of billions would be owed back, plus trillions for investments made by countries and companies to avoid tariffs.
  • Trump called tariffs a 'national security bonanza' and dismissed claims that repayments could be handled quickly or easily.
  • The Supreme Court is considering a legal challenge to Trump's tariff powers, with a ruling still pending.
  • The case questions the use of emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) for tariffs and potential importer refunds.

Why It Matters: Trump warns of catastrophic financial losses if the Supreme Court limits his tariff authority, calling it a 'complete mess'.
