The Supreme Court has ruled that Trump's tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are illegal, which may lead to substantial refunds for U.S. companies.

These potential refunds could exceed $165 billion, creating a significant financial consideration for businesses affected by the tariffs.

There is a proposal suggesting that companies should utilize these refunds to provide bonuses or raises to their workers, which could have implications for workforce morale and retention.
