'We’re Screwed!': US President Donald Trump Warns Supreme Court Ruling Could Make Tariff Refunds Impossible

Donald Trump warned on social media that if the Supreme Court limits his ability to impose tariffs, repaying them could be “a complete mess” and almost impossible for the US. He added that the potential refunds would be so large and complex that figuring out who, when, and where to pay could take years.

Washington: President Donald Trump has warned that it would "be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our Country to pay" back the money the US has collected from his sweeping tariffs if the Supreme Court rules he doesn't have the unilateral ability to impose many of them.

In a social media post on Monday, he said that if the court strikes down his tariffs: 'WE'RE SCREWED!' Trump has increasingly posted warnings on social media about the court's looming decision, including similar posts many days last week about how complicated it would be for the government to issue refunds.

"It may not be possible," Trump said in his post about repaying the tariffs.

But, "if it were, it would be Dollars that would be so large that it would take many years to figure out what number we are talking about and even, who, when, and where, to pay."
