Trump administration appeals ruling requiring tariff refunds to all affected businesses.
The Trump administration announced it will appeal a federal judge's order requiring refunds for all businesses that paid tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court. The administration argues only companies that filed lawsuits should receive refunds, not all importers. CBP had already begun processing $85 billion in refund claims and directed $20.6 billion in payments before the appeal was announced.

The split, in one line
Coverage splits between refund processing versus legal resistance and tariff reinstatement: CBP disperses billions while Trump's appeals courts extend tariff blocks, rebuild trade authority through Section 122, and resist oversight, creating dual-track uncertainty.
