The United States has refunded about $100 billion in tariffs imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency, according to court filings cited by The Times of India and Reuters. The refunds followed a US Supreme Court ruling in February that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not allow the president to impose the duties unilaterally. About 60 per cent of the $166 billion collected had been refunded by July 31. A US Customs and Border Protection official said $128.68 billion in potential and certified refunds had been accepted for processing, with about $100 billion completed. The payments, including interest, went to importers. NDTV said the available account did not provide detailed information on recipients or repayment methods.
