The money are the results of the Supreme’s ruling against Trump’s efforts levy tariff’s without Congress’s Ok……….
The Trump administration said it has refunded about $100 billion of the tariff revenue that was collected before President Donald Trump’s “liberation day” duties were struck down by the Supreme Court.
The figure, reported Tuesday in a filing in the U.S. Court of International Trade, represents about 60% of the roughly $166 billion the government says it raked in from the sweeping tariffs Trump imposed in 2025 using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.
Those tariffs were scrapped in late February after the high court ruled IEEPA did not authorize them. About two weeks later, federal Judge Richard Eaton ordered that tariffs collected under IEEPA must be refunded to the importers.
Trump, who placed heavy-handed tariffs at the center of his economic and foreign policy agendas, has vented his rage over the court rulings, and his administration has recently taken a series of steps to effectively re-create the IEEPA tariff regime using other legal authorities.
“Tariffs have been incredible. We’ve taken in hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said Tuesday in a Fox News interview. “Supreme Court gave us a little shot, but we’re allowed to do it in a different manner.”
Those different tariff methods are already facing their own court challenges.
In the meantime, the Trump administration has been doling out refunds to the defunct IEEPA regime…..
