Trump administration begins tariff refund payouts to companies

The Trump administration is refunding over $166 billion in tariffs after a Supreme Court ruling deemed the tariff program illegal.
Companies, not consumers, will receive the refunds, raising concerns about fairness and accountability in how the funds are distributed.
Critics, including White House adviser Heather Boushey, argue that American families are losing out while businesses benefit from the refunds.
