US President Donald Trump posted that SCOTUS tariff decision would cost the US USD 159bln, adding that the US should not have to pay back already paid monies, and that USD 159bln is more than most countries are worth
- "People and Companies that have taken advantage of our Country for decades, because of the horrible and ridiculous United States Supreme Court decision on Tariffs, are now supposed to be given back 159 Billion Dollars. All they had to do was one little half sentence, “that the United States does not have to pay back monies that were already paid” — and our Country would be 159 Billion Dollars richer. That’s more than most Countries are worth! Think of it — Just one half sentence, and we would have saved 159 Billion Dollars. Couldn’t they have done that for our Nation? President DONALD J. TRUMP"
