Small businesses sue Trump administration over new tariffs
Two small companies filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade, challenging new tariffs targeting forced labor.
Two small businesses sued the Trump administration on Friday over its new tariffs targeting forced labor, marking another legal battle over President Donald Trump's trade policy. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, argues that the administration unlawfully used Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose tariffs of at least 10 percent.
The plaintiffs contend that the tariff measures exceed the authority granted by law. The case adds to ongoing legal challenges against the administration's trade actions.
