US president Donald Trump has warned of disaster if the Supreme Court overturns his signature tariffs. For starters, it would unleash a bureaucratic nightmare involving reams of refund paper cheques.
Should the court uphold a US Court of Appeals ruling that Mr Trump’s country-based tariffs are illegal, the government could owe the bulk of the $165bn (€141bn) in customs duties collected so far this fiscal year back to companies that paid them.
