Consumers sue Amazon for not refunding Trump tariff costs [View all]
(snip)
The U.S. Supreme Court in February concluded in a 6-3 decision that Trump overstepped his authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose his sweeping tariffs.

Thousands of companies have begun to seek billions of dollars in refunds from the government following the ruling.
But Amazon has not, which the lawsuit alleged was "not because it lacks a legal basis to do so, but because it seeks to curry favor with Trump by allowing the federal government to retain the funds."
"The problem is that the funds Amazon is using to stay in the President's good graces do not belong to Amazon,” the lawsuit says. "These funds were wrongfully taken from consumers to cover IEEPA Tariffs that have since been invalidated."
