Trump Asks If Supreme Court Can Rehear Tariff Case

President Donald Trump continued his public criticism of the Supreme Court on Friday, questioning whether the justices could reconsider their recent decision limiting his authority to impose broad tariffs.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned that the ruling could lead to massive refunds being paid out and suggested the Court should revisit the case.

“The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been ‘ripping off’ the United States of America for many years,” Trump wrote. “I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! … Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???”

Last week, the Court ruled 6–3 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give the president authority to impose sweeping tariffs, delivering a major setback to Trump’s use of emergency powers to reshape U.S. trade policy. The decision upheld a lower-court ruling striking down the tariffs and vacated another district court ruling on jurisdictional grounds.

While the ruling invalidated the tariffs imposed under IEEPA, it did not outline how they should be unwound, leaving that process to lower courts and administrative agencies. The University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model has estimated that reversing the IEEPA tariffs could result in up to $175 billion in refunds. Separately, the Congressional Budget Office projects total U.S. tariff revenue of about $300 billion annually over the next decade.

Any refunds would be paid to importers that remitted duties to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not directly to foreign governments.

Trump’s main question was whether the case could be reheard. Under Supreme Court Rule 44, a party may file a petition for rehearing within 25 days of a decision. Such petitions are rarely granted and are limited to situations involving significant new circumstances or major issues that were not previously considered.

Another potential route would be for Congress to pass new legislation explicitly authorizing the president to impose tariffs under specific emergency conditions, which could then be tested in future court challenges.

The administration has not said whether it will seek a rehearing. Newsmax reported it reached out to the White House for comment.
