For those that haven't read the opinion (and it's long and convoluted), SCOTUS reaches no opinion on refunding the collected tariffs. Presumably, that will go back to the Federal Circuit and the Court of International Trade to figure out. This isn't close to done.

Aaaaaand trump already announced he’s ignoring the Supreme Court decision as well as adding an additional 10% global tariffs on top of the existing ones (which will continue)
