US judge and lawyers to discuss how to refund $175bn in illegal Trump tariffs
The Bottom Line
A judge and lawyers are discussing how to refund up to $175 billion in illegal Trump-era tariffs to importers.
A U.S. judge is scheduled to meet with government lawyers to determine the process for refunding up to $175 billion in tariffs collected illegally from over 300,000 importers. Judge Richard Eaton of the U.S. Court of International Trade will hear from customs agency lawyers regarding the repayments, according to Reuters. This follows a Supreme Court decision last month, which ruled that a 1977 law did not provide legal justification for most of the Trump administration's global tariffs. The meeting aims to establish the method for returning these funds to affected importers.
