In what is set to be the biggest repayment programme in US history, companies can apply online for money they were charged under the so-called &quot;Liberation Day&quot; tariffs &#8211; plus interest &#8211; to be returned.<\/p>\n<p>Following a Supreme Court ruling, the US Court of International Trade in March ordered customs officials to refund more than $160 billion the government had collected, putting roughly 330,000 importers in a position to potentially win back some money. But individual consumers, who were hit by the tariffs indirectly through higher prices, are not expected to be compensated.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has said it would be &quot;brilliant&quot; if companies do not seek a refund, adding that he will &quot;remember&quot; those who don&#8217;t. At the time of the Supreme Court ruling, he said he was &quot;ashamed&quot; of certain justices &quot;for not having the courage to do what&#8217;s right for our country&quot;. <\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump says &quot;tariff&quot; is his favourite word, and has for decades repeatedly hailed them as a way to boost the US economy. They were a central part of his economic policy, and in the aftermath of the court&#8217;s decision, the president imposed new temporary tariffs under a different law. <\/p>\n<p>Our White House correspondent Daniel Bush tells us about the political impact this is having on the Trump administration and the Republicans&#8217; chances in this year&#8217;s midterm elections. <\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
