A slew of US companies are getting financial windfalls this week as the federal government rushes to disburse billions in tariff refunds before the end of June, sources tell The Post.
On Monday morning, Boca Raton-based Basic Fun – maker of Tonka Trucks, Care Bears and Lite Brite – received a wire transfer for $6.5 million from the Treasury Department. That amounts to about 95% of what the toy company is owed since the Supreme Court ruled this year that President Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are illegal.
“I never thought this day would come,” said Basic Fun’s chief executive, Jay Foreman.
