Trump government tariff refunds amount to $100 billion

On 5 August, according to the British Financial Times, the Trump Government had paid about $100 billion in customs refunds since the United States Supreme Court ruled that its use of emergency powers to impose tariffs on trading partners was null and void. United States Customs officials reported to the judges of the United States International Trade Court on Tuesday that this amount represented 60 per cent of the total $16.5 billion received from the President's “Emancipation Day” tariff。
