Trump complains SCOTUS didn’t let U.S. keep tariff money in ruling

President Donald Trump on Friday complained that the Supreme Court had not included a line in its tariff ruling that would have let the U.S. keep the money it already collected.The Supreme Court, earlier this year, struck down the tariffs he imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), leading the Treasury to have to prepare to refund billions.
“People and Companies that have taken advantage of our Country for decades, because of the horrible and ridiculous United States Supreme Court decision on Tariffs, are now supposed to be given back 159 Billion Dollars,” he posted on Truth Social.
“All they had to do was one little half sentence, ‘that the United States does not have to pay back monies that were already paid’ — and our Country would be 159 Billion Dollars richer. That’s more than most Countries are worth!” he added. “Think of it — Just one half sentence, and we would have saved 159 Billion Dollars. Couldn’t they have done that for our Nation?”
