A group of small businesses has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on imported goods.
The lawsuit, filed by the nonpartisan Liberty Justice Center on behalf of five small businesses, argues that Trump exceeded his legal authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports from multiple countries, Reuters reported. It claims Trump unlawfully seized Congress's authority to levy tariffs and calls his justification — treating trade deficits as a national emergency — baseless.
