U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Sunday said the Trump administration would need guidance from the courts on how to handle tariff refunds after the Supreme Court struck down duties authorized under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
“Well, we need the court to tell us what to do. They’ve created a situation where they struck down the tariffs and gave zero guidance on this,” Greer said during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.” “Historically, you know, as a trade attorney, in my experience, courts will normally give you some instruction on what to do, when.”
“The Court of International Trade, which is a district level U.S. court, my expectation is that they’ll have to step in and give some direction on how they want that to be done, if at all, whether plaintiffs had to have made the claim or not. We just need to have guidance from the court,” he added.
Tariffs have generated approximately $142 billion in revenue for the U.S.. In response to the SCOTUS ruling, Trump implemented a 15 percent global tariff and is evaluating different trade authorizations to maintain current rates imposed on specific countries.
The Supreme Court ruling striking IEEPA tariffs came weeks before Trump’s slated to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“Going into this meeting, the purpose of the meeting with President Xi is not to — it’s not to fight about trade, it’s to maintain stability, make sure that the Chinese are holding up their end of our deal and buying American, you know, agricultural products and Boeings (ph) and other things and making sure they’re sending us the rare earth that we need,” Greer said.
“It’s really about monitoring that agreement. If there are places for additional agreement, we’ll find them. And developing the president’s relationship with each other,” he added.

The court created a very big mess now they better learn Math ,LOL
He’s dreaming.
The court does not provide guidance and neither do they address the whole law. Instead they just answer specific law on a specific question. The court does not pretend or intend to be efficient or helpful. For them “the law” takes on sacred form and more-so when they are elevated to god like power in the USSC. That is all that justifies their inordinate power over mere mortals like us.
The court answers questions about like AI does vague, slanted and specific. You have to frame the question right.
The court didn’t create the situation. Trump did. And the ad hoc 150 day tariffs are a panic response to try and cover the coming refunds.
Hand all the tariff money to the SC and tell them to dole it out. Idiots.
SCOTUS are a joke.
Do what you will and keep the buck$.
More SCOTUS slop?
The court should have stayed in its lane. This is a matter between the Congress and the POTUS. The moron chief justice doesn’t even know what a tariff is and he’s opining on it. A tariff is not a tax.
Cut SCOTUS budget by 95% and pay the refund over time...a LONG time.
Please read the first clause of Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution and get back to us on that point.
Please GFY and don’t get back to me. Sorry about Canada losing both hockey golds.
“””Sorry about Canada losing both hockey golds.”””
Sure, Canada lost gold to both mens and womens teams but at least they go home with a complimentary Beanie Baby, eh.
The 15% can be offset by the overpayment.
Many of the current justices are not qualified to participate in the big league.
Roberts legacy will be as an embarrassment to American jurisprudence. Obamacare is a tax...The president can embargo but not tariff in emergencies...and many more questionable politically tainted rulings. Now Roberts’ relations with Eisen are in the spotlight. Perhaps he will “retire” soon.
Excerpt:
...In that capacity, Eisen used falsified evidence, in the form of a deceptively edited video of Trump, to claim, wrongly, that Trump had claimed absolute power for himself.
Eisen went on to champion the criminal and civil cases against Trump, and to smear federal judges — such as Aileen Cannon in Miami — who issued rulings in Trump’s favor. Meanwhile, Eisen defended Hunter Biden and his pardon.
The Federalist also noted recently that Eisen is the “founder of multiple anti-Trump groups that participated in at least four lawfare attempts to throw Trump off the ballot or in jail during his 2024 presidential candidacy.”
Eisen has also spearheaded the campaign against Justice Thomas, and joined fellow Democrats in smearing Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his contentious confirmation hearing in 2018, saying that his emotional response to false allegations of sexual misconduct was “a taste of the aggression that emerged when Kavanaugh got drunk.”
President Trump recently revoked Eisen’s security clearance, together with that of other “lawfare” operatives.

Roberts is a judicial upremacist fling in the face of 3 co-equql branches. This current SC ruling reeks of a belief in judicial superiority and risks a constitutional crisis.
Sure, Canada lost gold to both mens and womens teams but at least they go home with a complimentary Beanie Baby, eh.
Even worse, they have to go back to Canada.
oops Flying not fling.
Yeah, let’s bring our foreign dominated court system into it.
“””Even worse, they have to go back to Canada.”””
And some of the hosers will go back to their USA NHL teams.
I liked it better when it was all amateurs playing.
This game was like an NHL ALL Star game.
I don’t believe the ruling provided for any remedy.
Gee, wonder why…maybe because the whole ruling was problematic as the 3 dissenters eloquently wrote.
If those “ tariffs” were really passed to millions of consumers…then who really has standing and how is it to be calculated?
I think the Trump response to the big exporters was “ See you in court for the next 5 years and oh, by the way, here’s a new tariff…”
My real estate clients evaluate the possible outcomes of their work and develop backup plans for every contingency so they are ready when something fails. Trump is a real estate guy, he didn't implement this 150 day tariff in a panic.
