After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled most tariff measures unlawful, lawsuits surrounding President Donald Trump’s tariff policy have reportedly surpassed 2,000.

According to Walter Bloomberg on the 27th (local time), many small and midsize companies—along with large corporations such as FedEx and L'Oréal—have joined class-action litigation. Companies are seeking refunds of tariffs already paid, citing the unlawful ruling.

The tariffs at issue are estimated at more than $170 billion. However, whether refunds will be granted and the procedures for doing so remain uncertain, and it has been suggested that actual repayment could take years.

As lawsuits surge, pressure on companies to recoup costs is rising, while the administration is also facing expanding fiscal and policy burdens.
