Reference News Network September 8 report - According to the website of the US Consumer News and Business Channel on September 7, US Treasury Secretary Bensons said on September 7 that he is "confident" that Trump's tariff case will win in the Supreme Court, but at the same time warned that if the Supreme Court makes an adverse ruling, the Treasury Department will be forced to refund a large amount of tariffs.
The report said that Bensons, during an interview with the NBC television program "Dialogue with the Press," stated that if the tariff measures are deemed illegal, "we will have to refund about half of the tariffs, which would be a bad situation for the Treasury Department."
He said: "If the court rules that way, we will have to comply."
The report said that the Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to make a "priority ruling" last week, hoping to overturn a previous court of appeals decision that ruled most of Trump's tariffs on imported goods from other countries as illegal.
The report said that normally, the Supreme Court may not make a ruling on this case until next summer.
Bensons previously stated: "If the ruling is made in June 2026, the amount of tariffs collected by then will reach $750 billion to $1 trillion, and refunding the tariffs could cause serious chaos." (Translated by Wang Dongdong)
