U.S. Appeals Court Rejects Trump Administration's Delay of Tariff Refund Request
March 3 — The U.S. Supreme Court had previously ruled most tariffs imposed by the Trump administration were invalid. The Justice Department (DOJ) later appealed to a federal appeals court, seeking a 90-day extension (for a total delay of roughly four months) to let the executive and legislative branches weigh options. However, the federal circuit court of appeals rejected the DOJ’s request, clearing the way for the tariff refund process to move forward quickly.
The ruling paves the way for the U.S. International Trade Court (the lower court) to launch legal proceedings tied to tariff refunds. DOJ attorneys note the refund process could take several years to wrap up. Since the Supreme Court’s decision, hundreds more companies have filed tariff refund lawsuits, pushing the total number of tariff-related cases against the Trump administration to over 2,000.

Large Numbers of OpenAI Users Defect to Anthropic, Which Tops U.S. App Download Chart
On March 3rd, following the U.S. Trump administration’s deactivation of Anthropic’s AI technology products, OpenAI quickly reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to deploy its models on the Pentagon’s classified network.
The move sparked a user backlash and boycott against OpenAI: within a short time, 700,000 users unsubscribed, uninstalled ChatGPT, and switched to Anthropic’s Claude.
Bolstered by massive user support, Claude quickly topped the U.S. free app store download rankings, with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini taking second and third place, respectively.
Prior to this, Claude had seen a rise in failure rates, likely tied to a sharp traffic surge.

US Media: US Prepares for 'Major Cyberattack' on Iran in Next 24 Hours
**March 3 (CNN) — A senior U.S. official said Wednesday the U.S. is gearing up for a "major attack" on Iran within the next 24 hours.**
The official noted the first round of strikes has already successfully weakened Iran’s defense system, with the next phase targeting the country’s missile production facilities, drones, and naval assets.
However, the official added U.S. missile stockpiles are running low — particularly Tomahawk and SM-3 missiles.
Separately, former President Trump previously stated: “We haven’t launched a fierce attack on them yet. The real tsunami hasn’t hit. The actual wave of strikes is imminent.”
### Notes on U.S. English adaptation:
1. **Conversational brevity**: Replaced formal "preparing for" with colloquial "gearing up for" (common in U.S. media for military planning).
2. **Precision**: Swapped "forces" for "assets" (standard military jargon for naval/missile resources); used "launched" (not "started") for strikes (more accurate for military op

Trump: U.S. Will Keep Up Iran Strikes, Could Be Prolonged
March 3rd: U.S. President Donald Trump stated the U.S. will continue large-scale military operations against Iran.
Iran’s ballistic missile program is advancing rapidly—now capable of striking Europe, and it will soon have missiles able to reach the U.S. The U.S. cannot accept Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. This is America’s final best strike opportunity, with clear objectives including destroying Iran’s missile capabilities.
Trump expects the U.S. to achieve an easy victory, originally anticipated to last 4 to 5 weeks, though it could take longer.
