After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down his sweeping global tariffs in a 6-3 ruling, President Trump denounced the decision as a "disgrace to our nation" and called the justices in the majority "very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution," suggesting they had been "swayed by foreign interests." Undeterred, Trump quickly announced a new 10% global tariff, this time invoking a different trade law. The move potentially sets him on a collision course with Congress. On the question of refunds for tariffs already collected, estimated at up to $175 billion, the court's ruling was silent, leaving that question unresolved. Trump warned the process could be prolonged, saying the U.S. may be tied up in litigation for years.
