BYD Sues US Government Over Trump Tariffs, Demands Refund

• Chinese automaker BYD has filed a lawsuit against the US government, challenging Trump-era tariffs.
• BYD seeks a refund for all duties paid since April, arguing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize border taxes.
• This is the first lawsuit by a Chinese carmaker over US tariffs, following similar complaints from thousands of global companies.
• BYD's US operations include buses, commercial vehicles, batteries, energy storage systems, and solar panels, employing 750 workers in California.
• The US Supreme Court is also expected to rule on the legality of these tariffs in a separate high-stakes case.
