Trump's DOJ may have made a multi-billion dollar goof with court promise: report

President Donald Trump will likely face obstacles put in place by his own Justice Department as his administration argues against refunding tariffs struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court ruled 6-3 last week that the 79-year-old president's use of an economic emergency powers law is illegal, although the majority did not say whether companies that paid more than $170 billion in duties should get their money back.

But Bloomberg reported that previous arguments from the DOJ could undermine any attempt to avoid repayment.
