Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury, stated on NBC's Meet the Press that if the Supreme Court upholds the ruling, the U.S. should refund about half of the tariffs collected. He called this 'terrible' for the budget but acknowledged the need to comply with the court's decision. The tariff policy was implemented in August under Trump to address trade imbalances. A federal appeals court ruled that the IEEPA does not authorize such tariffs, delaying enforcement until October 14. Kevin Hassett mentioned alternative legal avenues for tariffs, which Bessent believes would weaken Trump's negotiating position. Teljes cikk (Portfolio.hu)
