One week after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned several of Trump's tariff policies, the Trump administration took action late Friday night to delay a wave of new refund applications, citing the need for several months to assess the next steps. Hours after Trump expressed opposition to refunding over $100 billion in tariffs on social media, the Department of Justice submitted a request to a lower court. In the document filed late at night, the Department of Justice lawyers asked a court currently hearing the case to delay procedural steps to initiate the refund process by about four months, allowing both the executive and legislative branches time to consider various response options. Trump hinted in his post that he may still try to persuade the Supreme Court justices to reconsider the ruling that was unfavorable to him.
