A federal trade-court judge on Wednesday ordered the Trump
administration to start refunding the more than $130 billion it
collected in the global tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court last
month.

Following a hearing involving a filtration company's fight for a
refund, Judge Richard Eaton at the Manhattan-based Court of
International Trade issued a written order directing the
administration to begin the process of refunding importers. He set a
hearing for Friday at which he asked for updates.
