""If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.""
""That decision casts a pall of uncertainty upon ongoing foreign negotiations that the President has been pursuing through tariffs over the past five months, jeopardizing both already negotiated framework deals and ongoing negotiations. The stakes in this case could not be higher.""
""I am confident that we will win at the Supreme Court,""
""We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs, which would be terrible for the Treasury,""
An appellate court declared the administration's broad tariff regime unconstitutional, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court while the Fourth Circuit temporarily kept the tariffs in place through mid-October. Administration officials argue the ruling creates uncertainty in ongoing foreign negotiations and could jeopardize negotiated framework deals. Senior officials publicly urged the High Court to preserve presidential tariff authority, warning that obeying the court would require substantial refunds that would harm Treasury receipts and diminish negotiating leverage. The administration plans to pursue other avenues but indicates compliance if the Supreme Court mandates refunds.
