Senate Democrats introduce legislation to force refunds of Trump tariffs struck down by Supreme Court

Senate Democrats introduced a bill Monday to force the refund of billions in tariff revenue. The plan requires the administration to repay funds with interest.

Twenty-two U.S. Senate Democrats introduced legislation on February 23, 2026, requiring the administration to refund all revenue collected from tariffs that the U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down. The measure specifically targets duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and mandates that the executive branch return the funds within 180 days, including interest. This legislative action addresses a critical gap, as the Supreme Court did not provide instructions on refunds when it invalidated the tariffs in the US USUS.
