Judge tells Trump that 'clock is ticking' on costly tariff refunds

(The Center Square) – A judge gave the Trump administration time to build a system to streamline tariff refunds, but pointed out that the "clock is ticking" and U.S. taxpayers will pay the cost of delays.

Customs and Border Protection requested 45 days to develop a system for issuing refunds for President Donald Trump's tariffs, which were imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated the tariffs, ruling that the law did not grant the president authority to impose tariffs.
