New York calls for $13.5 billion tariff refund from Trump administration

WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday called on the Trump administration to issue $13.5 ‌billion in tariff refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court struck ‌down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.

Last year, shortly after returning to the White House, Trump ​imposed varying tariffs on most of the world's countries. The move, which Trump called "Liberation Day," was met with legal challenges from businesses and some U.S. states.

Those tariffs, Hochul said, cost the average New York household an ‌estimated $1,751 in added costs ⁠over the last year and harmed the state's small businesses.

"These senseless and illegal tariffs were just a tax ⁠on New York consumers, small businesses and farmers, and that’s why I’m demanding a full refund" the governor said.
