The United States has launched an unprecedented process of returning funds to the private sector, which could significantly impact the country's fiscal policy. According to The New York Times, the Donald Trump administration has been forced to initiate a process for paying $166 billion to companies previously subject to high tariffs. These colossal funds were accumulated in the national treasury as part of the president's protectionist policies, but now the government is obligated to return them to their rightful owners. This massive, one-time outflow of funds from the budget poses a formidable challenge for US financial authorities to maintain economic stability amid the current deficit.

The basis for this historic fiscal rollback was a US Supreme Court ruling siding with American importers and manufacturers. The highest court recognized that the imposition of these tariffs exceeded the president's legal authority and violated established procedures for the distribution of power. The judges emphasized that the executive branch does not have the right to independently change tax and customs regulations on such a scale without legislative approval. This decision represented a serious legal and political blow to Trump's economic strategy, effectively nullifying one of the main tools of his trade policy, which he actively used to pressure foreign partners.
