When do the American citizens get their tariff refund ?

We all paid higher prices on goods due to trumps illegal tariffs. Companies are getting the tariff money refunded so why not the people ?
There needs to be a class action suit brought on behalf of the consumer and sue trump personally for imposing illegal tariffs.

The court will have to decide if consumers have any standing. For Merchants & people that used UPS a system has already been established.

The answer is never.

In fact, corporations might get some money back, but they will find a reason to raise prices more.

Notice, nothing has come down in price since the tariffs stopped.
