So I'm not sure how Delta can refuse to pay it. Are they just saying they won't purchase them anymore? If that's the case, the tariff is working.

"Liberation Day, everyone is gonna pay 100% tariffs! You tariff'd me back? It's now 200% tariffs on you! Oh no, the stock market is crashing, tariffs are delayed two weeks! Some country's leader said something mean about me, no more delay, 300% tariffs for you!"

This is all just a bunch of idiotic and unnecessary bullshit.
