So slightly more than half of 2025 tariffs have to be repaid.

so basically it’s ok for other countries to rape us tariff wise but we cannot use tariffs to reciprocate and be used as negotiating measures without our useless congress’ direction….is that right?


Yes, that is correct. We have to follow the law.


What law is that actually that says we can be victims of other country tariffs but can't have tariffs ourselves?

So sounds like he can still use the act to implement tariffs, it just has to be strategic and can't be blanket.

Can easily go back and re-do them, but the clusterfrick is refunding already imposed tariffs and what is that process.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president

nbcnews.com

The justices, divided 6-3, held that Trump's aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The ruling was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, who was joined by three liberal justices and two fellow conservatives, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, in the majority.

"The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration and scope," Roberts wrote. But the Trump administration "points to no statute" in which Congress has previously said that the language in IEEPA could apply to tariffs, he added.

As such, "we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs," Roberts wrote.

Justices Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito dissented.

It is a rare setback for the administration at the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, since Trump began his second term in January.

The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs, leaving in place ones he imposed on steel and aluminum using different laws, for example. But it upends his tariffs in two categories. One is country-by-country or “reciprocal” tariffs, which range from 34% for China to a 10% baseline for the rest of the world. The other is a 25% tariff Trump imposed on some goods from Canada, China and Mexico for what the administration said was their failure to curb the flow of fentanyl.

Trump could seek to reimpose some tariffs, using other laws.

The constitution says it pretty clearly... we have to go through the proper steps to put up tariffs.

The report doesn't appear to address directly whether the tariffs need to be repaid or not, mostly just stating the whole process is going to be a clusterfrick.

Ironically this is going to end up being a boon for the President as the tariffs have been the biggest thing propping up inflation, this should be a net positive for our economy

And who do we pay. Many here say foreign companies have born the cost. Dems say consumers have paid for them.

And then they should require all those companies to repay everyone that purchased items from them where they just passed on the increased tariff cost to the end customer.
