Connecticut's Larson Presses Major Retailers To Pass Tariff Refunds To Customers

Connecticut state representative, Richard Larson, has called on major retailers to provide Tariff Refunds to customers following a February Supreme Court ruling that declared President Donald Trump's tariffs "unlawful". The CEOs of Walmart, Home Depot, Target, Best Buy, FedEx, Amazon, Lowe’s, Costco, UPS and DHL have significant presence in Connecticut. The Yale Budget Lab estimates that the average household paid more than $1,700 due to the tariffs last year. There is no clear process to ensure an estimated $175 billion in refunds reaches small businesses and families. The letter also asks companies whether they will publicly report how refunds are distributed, whether refunds will be used for executive compensation or stock buybacks, and how relief would be distributed if not passed directly to consumers.
