The largest lobbying force for corporate America is considering suing the Trump administration to block the implementation of the president's new tariffs set to go into effect Wednesday, two sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told Fortune.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which represents millions of U.S. businesses big and small but which is heavily funded by industry titans, has been weighing taking the tariff battle to the courts and is being urged to do so by some of its largest members. The move would effectively provide cover for companies distressed about the tariffs' impact on their businesses but fearful of incurring the President's wrath by openly criticizing his trade policy.
