Trump Warns US Will Have To Pay Back ‘Trillions and Trillions of Dollars’ If He Loses Tariff Case in Supreme Court

President Donald Trump warned on Friday that if the Supreme Court shoots down his global tariffs than the United States will owe “trillions and trillions of dollars” to other nations.

Trump joined Fox & Friends on Friday where he discussed a number of topics, including the shooting and killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

While talking up his tariff strategy, the president admitted that trillions could be added to the United States’ debt should he end up losing in the Supreme Court, which recently agreed on an expedited timeline to rule on whether Trump’s tariffs are legal.

The president said on Friday:

It’s given us a great power to negotiate with other countries that took advantage of us, tremendous power. Also, it’s brought in trillions of dollars into our country. We have a big case brought by foreign governments because the foreign governments have been ripping us off for years and it’s now in the Supreme Court That case is really important to win because it’s made us a rich country. It’s made us a rich country because I don’t want to call it retribution but we’ve been ripped off.

Should the tariffs be shot down by the Supreme Court, he added, the United States will owe trillions more than it already owes.

“That Supreme Court case is so important,” Trump said. “And, frankly, this economy, if we win the tariff case — which we should, on the legal merits, but on common sense merits — we would have to give back trillions of dollars to these countries. Can you imagine? We would have give back trillions and trillions of dollars because we got it because of tariffs.”
