(Sharecast News) - The US government has already paid back tens of billions of dollars in tariffs it collected before the supreme court ruled them illegal, according to budget figures released on Monday. Tariffs - taxes on imported goods - have been a key part of president Donald Trump's game economic plan since he took office again last year.
