Friday's landmark Supreme Court ruling struck down President Trump's blanket tariffs but left open a key question around whether companies that already paid the duties will be able to get refunds.

The court’s majority opinion was silent on that top-of-mind issue for companies, while President Trump signaled that he wouldn't give tariff refunds willingly.

"I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years," the president said as he declined to respond directly to a question of whether he would honor refunds for companies that file for them.
