$100 billion in tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have been refunded by the US government. The refunds are the result of a Supreme Court decision that struck down the tariffs.

According to coverage from Reuters and BBC News, the refunds are being paid to companies that paid the tariffs, not to individual consumers. Amazon has announced that it will share $600 million of its refund with some customers.
