According to BlockBeats, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent stated in an interview with Fox Business that the continuous influx of tariff revenue into the U.S. Treasury could influence the Supreme Court's decisions if lower court tariff lawsuits are appealed to the highest court.
Besent remarked, "The more revenue we generate, the harder it becomes for the Supreme Court to rule against us." This statement was made in the context of a case currently being reviewed by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The case challenges the legality of U.S. President Donald Trump's so-called "reciprocal" tariffs, as well as another set of tariffs imposed in February on China, Canada, and Mexico.
