Welker: "Isn't the fact that you're rolling back tariffs an admission that they ultimately do drive up prices?" Bessent: "Kristen, how much does your arm weight?" Welker: "I do not know, exactly?" Bessent: " But you know how much you weigh and you get on the scale every morning."

Q: "What's your plan if Trump's tariffs are struck down by SCOTUS?" Bessent: "I am confident that we will win at SCOTUS." Q: "Are you prepared to offer rebates?" Bessent: "We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs which would be terrible for the Treasury."

BESSENT: “What the Supreme Court said is that the President cannot use IEEPA to do this, he does have other authorities. It's very interesting that the Supreme Court said that the President can't raise $1 of revenue with tariffs, but he can put on a full embargo." looks like the admin will fight very hard to keep tariffs using any justification they can legally provide

CNN’s Dana Bash got embarrassed live on her own show as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent flat out rejected her entire framing on tariffs. She tried to turn it into a $134 billion reckoning, but Bessent came armed with the facts. She was left scrambling. BASH: “I do want to start with the big question. Will you refund the roughly $134 billion in revenue taken by these emergency tariffs?” BESSENT: “Well Dana that’s not the big question.” BESSENT: “Let’s just level set here what the Supreme Court did was a very narrow reading of the president’s authority under the IEEPA tariffs. BESSENT: “We have other tariff authorities which have been functioning section 232 tariffs, section 301 tariffs and Dana, when you say it’s a big question, that’s bad framing because the Supreme Court didn’t even address that.” BESSENT: “The Supreme Court remanded it down to a lower court.” BESSENT: “And we will follow what they say but that that could be weeks or months when we hear them. So the supreme court did not address refunds.” BASH: “Sure. They didn’t address refunds. That is clearly going to be up to to you, which—” BESSENT: “No, no, no Dana, it is not up to me.” BASH: “Not…not…you…” BESSENT: “It is not up to the administration. It is up to the lower court. Let’s just be clear on that.” The “big question” wasn’t so big after all.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg TV that Mexico has proposed matching Washington’s tariffs on China. He urged Canada to do the same, perhaps as a way to avoid tariffs on Canadian goods and create Fortress North America.

BARTIROMO: Trump allowed his own self-imposed deadline to pass without doubling down on sanctions on Russia. Why? BESSENT: Well, he brought the deadline back from 50 days to 10. And we put secondary tariffs on India, so he's created leverage there.
