Supreme Court Trump tariffs ruling could put U.S. on hook for $175 billion in refunds, estimate says
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the 1977 law does not authorize broad tariffs, leaving $175 billion in tariffs potentially refundable amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
- The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that most of President Trump's tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were illegal because he exceeded his authority, reaffirming Congress's power over tariffs.
- Economists estimate that the government may need to refund about $175 billion collected from these tariffs, but the Court did not specify a refund process, creating uncertainty for importers and consumers.
- Trump plans to impose new tariffs using alternative legal authority, and some tariffs not imposed under IEEPA remain in effect, meaning price relief for consumers will be limited and delayed.
- Pennsylvania lawmakers and business groups expressed mixed reactions, praising the restoration of congressional power but concerned about uncertainty caused by the ruling and upcoming tariff policy changes.
