由于Trump关税无效,Cosco公司对退款提起了诉讼;原告说,它必须向消费者退还涨价款。 Costco sued over refunds due to invalidated Trump tariffs; plaintiffs say it must return price increases to consumers.

一项向伊利诺伊州联邦法院提起的全国性集体诉讼提案声称,Costco公司必须退还客户由于Trump-时代的关税而支付的较高价格,因为美国最高法院于2月20日宣布Trump-时代的关税无效。 A proposed nationwide class action lawsuit filed in Illinois federal court alleges Costco must refund customers for higher prices paid due to Trump-era tariffs invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court on February 20. 该诉讼辩称,如果Costco因根据现在违反《国际紧急经济权力法》的《国际紧急经济权力法》缴纳的税款而得到政府的退款,它应该将这些资金退还给承担费用的消费者。 The suit argues that if Costco receives government refunds for duties paid under the now-unconstitutional International Emergency Economic Powers Act, it should return those funds to consumers who bore the cost. Costco公司本来可以从退款中获利两次,再从保持较高的价格中获利两次。 The case claims Costco would otherwise profit twice—once from the refund and again from retaining higher prices. 虽然Costco没有作出评论,但CEO Ron Vachris说,任何退款都有可能降低未来价格,但诉讼认为,这并不能补偿过去的购物者。 While Costco has not commented, CEO Ron Vachris said any refunds would likely lower future prices, but the lawsuit contends this does not compensate past shoppers. 对FedEx也提出了类似的诉讼。 A similar suit has been filed against FedEx.
