Democrats seek to force refunds after Supreme Court blocks Trump tariffs
CNBC
A majority of President Donald Trump's tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court on Friday, leading him to seek other legal mechanisms for the duties.
A group of Senate Democrats released legislation on Monday that would mandate refunds of tariffs paid under President Donald Trump's higher duties that the Supreme Court struck down on Friday.
The legislation, led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, follows the Supreme Court's momentous 6-3 decision on Friday ruling against a majority of Trump's tariffs.
"Trump's illegal tax scheme has already done lasting damage to American families, small businesses and manufacturers who have been hammered by wave after wave of new Trump tariffs," Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement.
