  "account": "The administration of former US President Donald Trump refunded $100 billion in tariffs, known as the 'Liberation Day' tariffs, to businesses. This payment accounts for approximately 60% of all tariff revenue collected under the policy, with a court filing from US Customs and Border Protection revealing this figure. However, significant amounts remain unpaid; $29 billion is under review by trade authorities, while an additional $1.6 billion is delayed due to importers failing to provide their bank details. This refund followed a major Supreme Court ruling in February, which deemed broad import duties introduced under economic powers illegal.",
  "summary": "US President Donald Trump's administration has paid back $100bn in \"Liberation Day\" tariff refunds to businesses through customs officials, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.",
