Show Notes
The Supreme Courts decision to strike down Trumps import tariffs leaves the federal government facing massive refunds, potentially totaling $175 billion. These tariffs, which affected nearly all trading partners, could result in billions more in interest payments due to delays. The government collected $134 billion in these tariffs, and U.S. rules require interest on overpaid duties. Experts argue that importers deserve interest as their cash was tied up, while the White House defends the tariff approach, citing benefits like cooling inflation and boosting manufacturing. A federal appeals court recently denied the administrations request to pause refunds, opening the door for the Court of International Trade to handle claims, especially from small businesses. With interest rates at around six percent for smaller shipments and four point five percent for larger ones, even a one-year holdup could add over eight billion dollars to the bill.
