Trump Criticizes Supreme Court Tariff Ruling Citing Potential $159 Billion Repayment

He argued that a minor wording change in the court's decision could have avoided these repayments, describing the ruling as "horrible and ridiculous." The decision has sparked debate over its impact on US trade policy, government revenue, and judicial authority.
