NEW YORK, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday urged the Trump administration to refund tariff payments estimated at 13.5 billion U.S. dollars to New Yorkers.
"These senseless and illegal tariffs were just a tax on New York consumers, small businesses and farmers -- and that's why I'm demanding a full refund," Hochul said.
Hochul's statement came after the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that Trump's sweeping tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are unconstitutional. ■
