FedEx has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government demanding a full refund of tariffs imposed under former President Trump’s emergency economic powers, following a Supreme Court ruling that declared these levies unlawful. This legal action marks the first major corporate attempt to reclaim duties paid under the invalidated regime, signaling potential billions in repayment claims across corporate America. The Justice Department’s prior assurances that companies would receive refunds if the tariffs were deemed illegal may complicate the government’s defense against these claims.
