Trump Administration Refunds $100 Billion in Tariffs as States Sue New Duties
The administration has returned about 60% of the tariff collections, while 25 states argue the new duties are a replacement for the struck-down levies.
- The Trump administration has refunded $100 billion in tariff revenue collected under the now-defunct International Emergency Economic Powers Act , representing about 60% of the $166 billion total businesses paid.
- In February, the Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully imposed the tariffs using IEEPA, ordering the administration to refund the $165 billion collected from those invalidated duties.
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection official Brandon Lord reported in a Tuesday filing that the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries system has accepted about $129 billion in "both potential and certified refunds."
- Twenty-Five states are suing the administration, arguing that new duties on over 80 nations serve as a "pretext" to replace the illegal tariffs rather than effectively combating forced labor.
- Trump said in a Fox News interview Tuesday that he is "allowed to do it in a different manner," though experts remain skeptical the new levies will survive ongoing legal challenges.
