The Financial Times reports that the Trump administration has issued approximately $100 billion in refunds for tariffs imposed on goods from numerous countries since the U.S. Supreme Court banned the use of emergency powers to impose trade restrictions earlier this year. These refunds represent 60% of the $165 billion collected through tariffs during the 'Liberation Day' program announced by President Trump in April 2025. The refunds were ordered by judges at the U.S. International Trade Court after the Supreme Court limited the executive branch’s ability to impose high tariffs. This development comes amid ongoing legal challenges against Trump’s trade policies, including a lawsuit filed by 25 Democratic states alleging that the president improperly used Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to justify new tariffs.
