Are Americans benefitting? Fed survey finds how US firms are using their Trump tariff refunds | Mint
The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's emergency tariffs in February, and refunds began flowing in May. An Atlanta Fed survey of over 1,100 executives found most US firms getting these refunds are holding the cash. Others are funding research, new projects, temporary price cuts, or staff bonuses. That matters if you export to America, since some firms are cutting prices for now.
