PoliticsThe Trump administration has refunded approximately $100 billion of the $166 billion collected under President Donald Trump's 2025 'liberation day' tariffs, according to a court-ordered progress report filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade. The Supreme Court ruled in February that the import taxes were collected illegally, and a judge ordered their return to importers. The speed of refunds has surprised trade lawyers and analysts. Meanwhile, the administration has taken steps to reimpose similar tariffs using other legal authorities, prompting 25 states to sue on Monday, calling the new tariffs a pretext for the original levies.
