A dozen states are suing the Trump administration in the US Court of International Trade to stop its tariff policy, arguing it is unlawful and has brought chaos to the economy.
Donald Trump’s tariffs have been called into question
Twelve states on Wednesday brought legal action against the US President Donald Trump’s administration in the US Court of International Trade in New York.
The states want to halt the federal government’s tariff policy, arguing it is unlawful and has brought chaos to the US economy.
The lawsuit said the policy put in place by President Donald Trump has left the national trade policy subject to Trump’s “whims rather than the sound exercise of lawful authority.”
The states listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit were Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Vermont.
The lawsuit challenges Trump’s assertion that he can arbitrarily impose tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. It asks the court to declare the tariffs as illegal and to block government agencies and officers from enforcing them.PoliticsUnited States of America
