US Refunds $100 Billion in Trump-Era Tariffs After Supreme Court Ruling
Following a February Supreme Court ruling that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing broad tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the US administration has refunded about $100 billion to importers. This amount represents roughly 60% of the $166 billion in tariffs invalidated by the court. The ruling limited the president's ability to use emergency powers for tariffs, though sector-specific tariffs under other laws remain. Additional refund claims totaling over $28 billion are still being processed.
