US Treasury Secretary Beeson said on Sunday that he is confident that President Trump's tariff plan can "win in court" at the Supreme Court, but at the same time warned that if the Supreme Court rules the plan illegal, the Treasury Department will be forced to issue substantial refunds. Beeson said in an interview that if the tariffs are overturned, "we will have to refund about half of the tariff revenue, which would be catastrophic for the Treasury Department." However, he added, "if the court makes this ruling, we must comply."
