But if a company didn’t charge #consumers more, would the government get to keep the now-invalidated tax? It’s an open question, & thousands of companies have filed lawsuits arguing they deserve #refunds. This could take years to litigate.

The #Trump #admin is expected to argue in court that companies lack standing to claim a refund if they passed the #tariff #costs to #consumers by charging more — which would be a hell of a thing considering Trump swore up & down that other countries were paying the #tariffs & that consumers wouldn’t be affected.

Under the #law #Trump has now invoked, Section 122 of the #Trade Act of 1974, #tariffs may last only 150 days unless #Congress extends them. And they’re capped at 15%, so Trump cannot raise them again.

Now that #SCOTUS deemed the old tariffs illegal, do the businesses that paid them get their money back?

#law #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #business #geopolitics

#CBP gave no reason why it was continuing to collect the #tariffs at ports of entry days after #SCOTUS’ ruling, & its message offered no information about possible #refunds for importers.

The message noted that the collection halt does not affect any other tariffs imposed by #Trump, including those under the Section 232 national security statute & the Section 301 unfair trade practices statute.

#law #judiciary #economy #trade #geopolitics

#CBP said in a message to shippers on its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all #tariff codes associated with Trump's prior #IEEPA related orders as of Tuesday.

The IEEPA tariff collection halt coincides with Trump's imposition of a new, 15% global tariff under a different legal authority to replace the ones struck down by #SCOTUS on Friday.

#US to stop collecting #tariffs deemed illegal by #SCOTUS on Tuesday

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it will halt collections of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act [ #IEEPA] at 12:01 AM EST on Tuesday, more than three days after the U.S. Supreme Court declared the duties illegal.

Critics trash #Trump’s threat to 'destroy the country'

“Trump followed his #SCOTUS tantrum up with an unsettling threat:

“But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country; in other words, I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country!” Trump blared.

“I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo, I can embargo!

I can do anything I want, but I can't charge $1!”

Today's SCOTUS decision makes it crystal clear that three justices will let Trump do literally anything he wants. Screw the Constitution, the law, facts, morals, and ethics.
It should have been 9-0.
#scotus

#Trump said didn't make sense to him, big surprise.

"I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country. I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo. I can embargo. *I can do anything I want*, but I can't charge $1 because that's not what it says," he said.

"How ridiculous is that?"

You are what is ridiculous, idiot.

#Trump said that "other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones [ #tariffs] that the court incorrectly rejected."

"We have alternatives," Trump said, "could be more money. We'll take in more money & we'll be a lot stronger for it." — if that were at all true, he would have used those methods first.

#Trump said foreign countries are
celebrating the ruling, but it won't last long.

"Foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic. They're so happy, & they're dancing in the streets, but they won't be dancing for long, that I can assure you," said Trump.

He said, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that #SCOTUS has been "swayed by foreign interests & a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think."

#Trump is speaking after #SCOTUS rules against his #tariffs

"The Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs is deeply disappointing. And I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country," said Trump.
