[New Lawsuit Questions the Legality of Trump's Tariffs]

A lawsuit filed on Monday questions the legality of President Trump's comprehensive global tariffs. The Liberty Justice Center, a Texas-based public interest law firm that leans liberal, filed the lawsuit on behalf of five business owners who claim to have been harmed by the new tariffs against the U.S. International Trade Court. This is the broadest legal action to date against Trump's scaled-back tariffs. The lawsuit alleges that Trump improperly used a 1970s law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, to implement most of his tariff regime, and that the president is infringing on congressional powers. The Liberty Justice Center is requesting the court to issue a broad order to block tariffs imposed under IEEPA; the court has national jurisdiction over cases involving international trade.
