[U.S. Appeals Court Rejects Trump Administration's Request to Delay Tariff Refunds] Jin10 News, March 3 – The U.S. Supreme Court previously ruled that most of the tariff measures implemented by President Trump's administration were invalid. Subsequently, the Department of Justice filed an appeal with the Federal Appeals Court, requesting an additional 90-day grace period to allow the executive and legislative branches time to consider their options, with a total delay of up to approximately four months. However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has rejected this request from the Department of Justice, meaning the subsequent steps in the tariff refund process can proceed quickly. This ruling by the Federal Appeals Court clears the way for the U.S. Court of International Trade, a lower court, to initiate legal procedures related to tariff refunds. According to estimates by Department of Justice attorneys, the refund process could take several years to complete. Following the Supreme Court's decision, hundreds of additional companies have filed lawsuits seeking tariff refunds, bringing the total number of tariff-related cases faced by the Trump administration to over 2,000.
