The USA must pay back money to companies

113

The government of the USA pays back much money. It is 81 billion dollars. Different companies get this money. The Finance Ministry says this on Monday.

A court decision is the reason. The court is the Supreme Court. The judges say: The taxes on goods from Donald Trump were wrong. He used too much power.

Donald Trump wanted more money with these taxes. He wanted companies in the USA. Now many firms want their money back. Most payments happened in May and June.

The state has no money now. There is a big hole in the budget. The USA has many debts. The state must pay high interest. The war with Iran costs much money too.
