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.
If they’re able to have a lower price than their competitors, they can take so of the sales, unless they’re illegally price fixing, which some likely did.
You’re still saying a lot of things as absolute fact without any citation. Do you have a source for any of this?
Decades of sales experience. Retail management during COVID price hikes.
I saw this first hand. I don’t need to read reports because I lived it.
But sure. Show me all the great companies that tried to keep prices low, to what, be nice to the consumer?
That ain’t how things work.
