You know, the president doesn't have the authority to impose taxes, only Congress does.
Right, absolutely.
And so, yeah, it was a huge blow to Trump.
He said, I'm going to fight back.
I'm going to, you know, we'll get the tariffs in through other means.
And he has instituted some other ones.
But by and large, the ruling stood and Trump and the U.S.
government have had to repay these sort of massive tariffs that they collected.
And yeah, that's what they've been doing.
You know, any company really that imports.
Famously, Trump was sort of portraying the tariffs as punishing other countries.
But it's US companies that have to pay them.
And it's US consumers that end up eating the cost of that.
So that's exactly who have been collecting them.
So it's big companies as well as individuals.
If you had to cross a border and you had to pay customs duty for one of these places where there was a tariff, you are eligible, in theory, for a refund.
A lot of people obviously won't be claiming those small amounts back.
And some companies have been set up on Wall Street to sort of collect the tariffs on behalf of large groups, a bit like a class action suit.
And there's another big group of people that will be benefiting, which is
the people who bought into a sort of secondary market for tariff refunds before the Supreme Court decision.
