Donald Trump warned of a "complete mess" if the Supreme Court strikes down his global trade tariffs, a decision expected as soon as Wednesday. Trump claims reversing the tariffs would be difficult, leading to refund claims and payment issues. The case, brought by small businesses and 12 states, challenges Trump's authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Lower courts previously ruled against Trump's authority. The Supreme Court heard arguments in November, with justices raising concerns about the legality of the tariffs. Trump also stated that any country doing business with Iran will face a 25% tariff on trade with the US.
