The Supreme Court has gone more than three months without issuing a decision since it heard oral arguments on the legality of President Donald Trump’s worldwide tariffs, as evidence of the potential fallout has emerged across Washington.
The justices kept the tariffs in place as they weigh Trump’s signature domestic and foreign policy lever, which has now collected more than $130 billion, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics.
Dozens of companies have made moves to allow for refunds in case of a tariff ruling in their favor during the wait, and Trump himself warned of “a complete mess” when it comes to paying back foreign companies who invested here to avoid them.
