Trump says he does not know what Supreme Court is going to do on tariffs

WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he does not know how the Supreme Court will rule on the legality of his global tariffs, but said Washington might have to repay hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs if it lost the case.

The court on Tuesday issued three decisions but did not announce a decision on Trump's tariffs.

"I don't know what the Supreme Court is going to do ... To me, it reads so plainly. It couldn't be plainer," Trump said, adding his belief the tariffs were legally imposed and it would be difficult to repay the duties already collected "without hurting a lot of people."
