US Supreme Court tariff decision: Trump admits uncertainty over verdict as SCOTUS skips ruling again - ‘I don't know…'

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday acknowledged the uncertainty over the outcome of the US Supreme Court's ruling on his administration's sweeping tariff regime. Admitting that an adverse ruling could carry sweeping financial consequences, Trump said he ‘doesn’t know what the Supreme Court is going to do'.

“I don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do” said Trump during his ‘special appearance’ at the White House press briefing on Tuesday – marking his first year back in office after he took over on 20 January, 2025.

Trump's comments at the White House press conference came after the US Supreme Court, on Tuesday, once again skipped ruling on the legality of Trump administration's tariffs imposed on almost all of America's trading partners.

The POTUS further went on to say he doesn't know "that's going to be done very easily without hurting a lot of people", claiming the US has "tremendous national security and no inflation" as a result of tariffs.

The US Supreme Court's ruling would determine whether Trump acted within his statutory authority as president and whether the tariffs can legally stand.

Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) does not announce the next date when it will issue rulings. It also does not announce in advance as to which rulings would be announced on a given date.

Earlier, Trump ranted on his Truth Social that repaying the money would be “a complete mess” and “almost impossible for our Country to pay”. He argued that refunds could run into “many Hundreds of Billions of Dollars”.
