$80 billion in Trump tariffs could come back to you who qualifies for refund checks and how soon could payments arrive?

About $80 billion in Trump tariffs were collected during the U.S.China trade war. Now, a new Trump tariff refund checks bill in Congress could return part of that money to Americans. Lawmakers acted after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled key tariffs unlawful. That decision opened the door for refunds with possible interest.
