The Trump administration said businesses seeking refunds of tariffs struck down by the US supreme court “will take time,” according to court documents filed by the justice department on Friday.
The justice department did not say it plans to ask the supreme court to rehear the case, despite Donald Trump’s comments earlier on Friday.
“It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved ‘windfall,’ the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible???”
Since the supreme court struck down many of the tariffs last week, dozens of companies have rushed to court seeking refunds, joining hundreds that had already filed suits in anticipation of the ruling.
