“We Want Our Money Back:” Two American Businesses Address Trump Tariff Chaos

Season 2026 Episode 8114 | 17m 57s

Up to $175 billion in refunds could be owed to businesses after the Supreme Court ruled President Trump's global tariffs illegal last month. But for many small American companies, the damage has been done. Some owners are doubting whether they can really claim their money back. Debbie Wei Mullin, founder of Copper Cow Coffee, and Sarah LaFleur, CEO of M.M. LaFleur, speak to Michel Martin.
