US Appeals Court Denies Trump Administration's Request to Delay Tariff Refund Lawsuits

A US federal appeals court denied former President Donald Trump's request to delay lawsuits seeking refunds of tariffs struck down by the Supreme Court. The decision allows legal proceedings to continue in a lower court, addressing claims from companies and small businesses. The tariffs had generated over $130 billion for the government. Observers note challenges in funding these refunds, with some suggesting tariff reimpositions may serve strategic or revenue purposes.
