FedEx has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government seeking a full refund of tariffs paid under President Trump's trade policies. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that overturned certain tariff implementations.
If successful, FedEx could recover significant funds, potentially boosting its financial position and stock (FDX). The case may also set a precedent for other companies seeking similar refunds.
The lawsuit underscores ongoing tensions over trade policy and its impact on corporate America, possibly influencing future U.S. trade negotiations and tariff strategies.
