[New York State Demands Trump Administration Refund $13.5 Billion in Tariffs] On February 24 local time, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul called on the Trump administration to refund $13.5 billion in tariffs to the state after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled its large-scale tariff policy unconstitutional. Hochul stated that these meaningless and illegal tariffs have imposed an additional burden of approximately $1,751 per average household in New York State over the past year and have severely harmed small businesses in the state. Therefore, New York State is demanding a full refund. Previously, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and California Governor Gavin Newsom also requested the federal government to refund tariffs following the Supreme Court ruling. The White House dismissed these governors' demands, stating that they have been "talking about problems for decades" while "Trump is the one who truly solves problems." (CCTV International News)
