  • On Monday, Senate Democrats Ron Wyden, Ed Markey and Jeanne Shaheen introduced a bill to force refunds, requiring CBP to prioritize small businesses and update Congress every 30 days.
  • Amid diplomatic pushback, China urged Washington to abandon unilateral tariffs and offered talks, while an unnamed White House official said a 15% increase is planned later without a timeline.
