the tariffs are there.
And of course, companies have been paying them.
Well, if they're found illegal, then that seems to be the case.
If money was illegally taken from you, you normally have a right to get that money back.
So I think a lot of people expect that companies would start a wave of legal actions to get the money back again.
I'm not so sure that Trump would just say, well, pay it back.
I would think he's going to try and stop that because, of course, it's quite a lot of money and
the U.S.
government has a deficit problem and a debt problem, and not having that money is going to make the problems they have even worse.
And of course, there's a government shutdown at the moment because they can't agree a budget.
So this would cause a lot more problems for him, and he's normally trying to have his way.
And
I can see more potential conflicts.
Now, that's all assuming the Supreme Court says it's all illegal.
What if the Supreme Court says it's legal?
And then that is another question.
It will keep on going.
And Trump will then have a precedent in the Supreme Court that he may want to use for other actions.
