U.S. Firms Face Growing Uncertainty as Government Rejects Refunds on Illegal Tariffs

U.S. Companies Blocked From Recovering Tariffs Ruled Illegal by Supreme Court

The U.S. government is refusing to refund billions of dollars in tariffs that the Supreme Court recently declared unlawful, according to reporting from the Financial Times.

As a result, businesses are facing mounting uncertainty and are increasingly turning to the courts to resolve disputes. The government had collected more than $130 billion in payments under the now‑invalidated tariff regime, a central pillar of Trump’s trade policy.
