Trump Warns US Supreme Court Ruling Against Tariffs Could Cost Trillions, Says 'We're Screwed'

  • Donald Trump warned of 'trillions of dollars' in losses if the US Supreme Court curbs his administration's tariff powers.
  • A ruling against the government could force the US to repay 'many hundreds of billions of dollars' in collected tariffs.
  • Additional 'payback' claims from countries and companies that invested to avoid duties could add to the losses.
  • Trump called the potential fallout 'a complete mess' and said it would be almost impossible for the country to repay such sums.
  • The Supreme Court is weighing a legal challenge to Trump's tariff powers, with a ruling expected soon.
