Senate Democrats call for government to start refunding $175bn in tariff money | Trump tariffs
Senate Democrats, led by Ron Wyden, Ed Markey, and Jeanne Shaheen, are proposing a bill requiring the US Customs and Border Protection to refund approximately $175 billion in tariff revenues collected under an illegal set of orders by former President Donald Trump. The measure, which prioritizes refunds to small businesses and encourages importers to pass on the money to customers, is unlikely to become law but highlights Democrats' efforts to pressure the administration over the issue. The Trump administration maintains that any refunds should be decided through litigation rather than presidential action.
