Trump says 'I'll remember' companies that don’t seek tariff refunds

Trump said he was "not happy with the Supreme Court" for ruling IEEPA tariffs were illegal, and for not allowing the U.S. to keep tariffs already collected.

Donald Trump on Tuesday told CNBC that he will gratefully “remember” U.S. companies that do not seek refunds for the tariffs he unilaterally imposed, which the Supreme Court later ruled were illegal.

Trump’s comment on “Squawk Box” came a day after U.S. Customs and Border Protection opened a portal for importers to seek more than $160 billion in potential refunds for the so-called IEEPA tariffs.

He was asked about a number of large companies, among them Apple and Amazon, that have not filed requests for refunds for the tariffs they paid, potentially because they are worried about “offending” Trump.

    So after forcing these companies to pay the tariffs, then after being forced to refund the companies because his tariffs were deemed illegal, he will now be annoyed by companies that don’t choose to be refunded for the tariffs they paid.

      I think he means remembering them in a positive way, as in theyre on his good side now. Which is bs of course.
