Trump Sued Hours After New Tariffs Take Effect, as Experts Say They May Not Hold Up The latest round of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration has sparked a chorus of criticism from trade experts and lawyers.
Two small businesses in the U. S. Court of International Trade have filed a lawsuit arguing that the administration's use of Section 301 is a thinly veiled attempt to revive the invalidated IEEPA tariff regime.
Critics say the administration's reliance on Section 301 is an abuse of power, as it was never intended for the president to impose broad tariffs on goods from more than 80 countries.
