The U.S. International Trade Court has accepted a lawsuit against Trump's tariff policy. The non-partisan legal organization 'Freedom Justice Center' represents five importing companies impacted by the tariffs, accusing the President of imposing tariffs without Congressional authorization and requesting the court to halt the related trade measures.
The involved companies cover multiple industries, including wine importers and educational equipment manufacturers, directly targeting Trump's April 2 'Day of Liberation' tariff order and his increased tariffs on China. Attorney Schwab pointed out that the Constitution explicitly states that the legislative power for tariffs belongs to Congress, and the President does not have the authority to unilaterally make such significant economic decisions.
The White House responded that the tariff policy aims to address a 'national emergency' and protect the rights of American businesses and workers. Spokesperson Fields emphasized that the President's actions are intended to create a fair international trade environment and rectify longstanding trade imbalances.
This case has triggered a constitutional authority dispute, placing the legality of tariff policies under judicial review, which could have profound impacts on Trump's trade legacy.
