Trump Refuses Tariff Refunds, Imposes New 'Devastating' 15% Tax After Court Setback
•US President Donald Trump has hardened his stance after the Supreme Court declared his emergency tariffs illegal, immediately imposing a new 15% global tariff.
•Trump is now weaponizing Section 122 of the 'Trade Act 1974' to impose temporary tariffs for 150 days, bypassing lengthy investigation processes.
•Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker sent Trump an $8.7 billion invoice, claiming illegal tariffs cost each family in his state $1700, though refunds would go to companies.
•Trump stated the refund battle could drag on for 2-5 years, leaving thousands of companies, especially small businesses, in a difficult legal fight.
•The new global tariffs create uncertainty for India and the global market, with potential for supply chain collapse if Trump takes military action amidst rising tensions.
