The government debuted a system to repay importers two months after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs at the heart of the president’s trade policy.
President Trump opposed tariff refunds until the Court of International Trade intervened in March and ordered the government to return the money to importers.
The Trump administration is likely to appeal the move, as it ramps up its attempt to slow or potentially block the repayment of billions in past duties.
For many importers, the liquidation process is still well underway for millions of goods that were brought ashore during President Trump’s first year back in office.
A ruling against President Trump could force his administration to pay back the roughly $200 billion it has collected in duties since the start of the year.
The agreement was short on details, but President Trump said India had promised to stop buying Russian oil and would buy more U.S. farm goods and other products.
President Trump and India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, were spare on details in their announcements, and Mr. Modi did not mention whether his country would stop buying Russian oil, as Mr. Trump claimed.
