Trump encourages companies to avoid seeking tariff refunds

President Donald Trump has said he will remember companies that do not seek refunds on duties after the Supreme Court ruled against his tariffs. “It’s brilliant if they don’t do that,” Trump said on CNBC in response to a question about whether companies such as Amazon and Apple should request refunds on duties that have now been deemed unlawful. “If they don’t do that, I’ll remember them.” The Supreme Court’s decision could lead to the largest-ever repayment by the U.S. government, with refunds potentially exceeding $160bn. Companies including Costco and FedEx have filed lawsuits to secure their refund rights.
