Trump Warns US Will Owe 'Trillions' If Tariffs Shot Down
""It's given us a great power to negotiate with other countries that took advantage of us, tremendous power. Also, it's brought in trillions of dollars into our country. We have a big case brought by foreign governments because the foreign governments have been ripping us off for years and it's now in the Supreme Court That case is really important to win because it's made us a rich country.""
""That Supreme Court case is so important, Trump said. And, frankly, this economy, if we win the tariff case which we should, on the legal merits, but on common sense merits we would have to give back trillions of dollars to these countries. Can you imagine? We would have give back trillions and trillions of dollars because we got it because of tariffs.""
Global tariffs have provided substantial revenue and negotiating leverage in international trade, reportedly bringing trillions of dollars into the United States. Foreign governments have filed an expedited case in the Supreme Court challenging the legality of the tariffs. An adverse ruling could require repayment of tariffs collected, potentially forcing the United States to return trillions and further increase national debt. The tariff mechanism is characterized as a corrective response to longstanding trade imbalances and as a source of economic benefit. The legal outcome is presented as pivotal to preserving those fiscal and strategic gains.
