US President Donald Trump has reacted strongly to the US Supreme Court’s recent decision related to tariffs (import duties). He said that due to this decision, hundreds of billions of dollars may have to be returned to foreign countries and companies, which may affect America’s economic interests.
Economic uncertainty increased due to decision
According to Trump, this decision of the Supreme Court can give a big benefit to those countries and companies which have been taking advantage of the American trade system for years. He claimed that after the court’s decision, these institutions can now earn financial benefits at a higher level than before. Meanwhile, the number of cases related to tariff refunds is continuously increasing in American courts, which has increased uncertainty in the business environment.
Trade deals may also be affected
Experts believe that this decision has come at a time when many international trade agreements are under negotiation. If the refund process starts on a large scale, it may affect America’s trade policy and future agreements. Companies and investors are also now busy understanding the new legal situation.
Trump called the decision disappointing
Trump said in his statement that he is confident that the Supreme Court’s intention would not have been to harm America, but the decision is extremely disappointing. According to him, companies that have earned billions of dollars from America for decades may now get a huge and unfair economic advantage, which he described as unprecedented.
Raised demand for re-hearing
The President raised the question whether re-hearing or reconsideration of this case is possible. He indicated that legal options are being considered, so that American economic interests can be protected. At present, the debate has intensified in political and economic circles regarding the long-term effects of this decision.
