Small businesses sue Trump administration over new tariffs

business tariffs trade policy legal proceedings

A group of small businesses sued the Trump administration on Friday over its latest tariffs on 60 U.S. trade partners. The legal challenge was filed less than a day after the global tariffs took effect.

The lawsuit argues that the tariffs are not legally justified without more information. This represents a fresh legal hurdle for the administration following the enactment of the duties.

The businesses are represented by the Liberty Justice Center. This legal group has previously been successful in challenging duties imposed by President Trump.
