Hochul seeks $1,700 tariff refunds for New York families amid federal pushback

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called on the federal government to issue $1,700 refunds to New York families for tariffs she says cost New Yorkers $13.5 billion, arguing the relief is overdue as a court battle continues. She notes refunds for businesses are being processed by Customs and Border Protection, with funds expected 60–90 days after approval, and warns the Trump administration may delay or shrink refunds.
