Trump’s new tariffs hit with lawsuit
President Trump's new tariffs have been hit with a lawsuit from two small businesses, who argue that the administration is stretching Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 too far. The lawsuit claims that the tariffs are not a response to unfair trade practices, but rather a pretext for imposing taxes on imports. The case is being brought by the Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian public-interest firm that has previously challenged Trump's tariff agenda in court.
- ▪The new tariffs impose a surcharge of between 10 percent and 12.5 percent on goods imported from 60 trading partners.
- ▪The lawsuit argues that the administration is stretching Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 too far by imposing tariffs without a country-specific approach.
- ▪The case is being brought by the Liberty Justice Center on behalf of spice and e-commerce business Burlap & Barrel and high-end watch retailer Collective Horology.
