What we can confirm

Multiple reputable reports and court filings confirm that the Trump administration has processed and certified roughly $100 billion in tariff refunds following a Supreme Court ruling, with the money going to importers and corporate businesses rather than households.[2][3][7][9][10] These sources describe the refunds as being paid to thousands of companies and major corporate importers, which fits the description of “major U.S. corporations.”[2][7][9][11] While the coverage names specific firms such as Costco and FedEx among beneficiaries, none of the cited reports independently confirm that Howard Lutnick’s Cantor Fitzgerald is specifically among the recipients; however, as a large financial firm and potential importer, it is plausibly eligible. Overall, the portion of the claim about $100 billion in tariff refunds to major corporations is well supported, whereas the explicit inclusion of Cantor Fitzgerald is not directly documented in the available sources.
