BREAKING - Trump admin pledges to refund tariffs: Donald Trump’s Justice Department persuaded the U.S. Court of Appeals to stay the lower court’s injunction on his emergency tariffs—after pledging to refund anyone who paid them if it ultimately loses. In its filings, the government stated, “If tariffs imposed on plaintiffs during these appeals are ultimately held unlawful, then the government will issue refunds to plaintiffs, including any post-judgment interest that accrues.” The court granted the stay.
