US firms challenge Trump tariffs
Small American companies have filed lawsuits against the Trump administration in protest of the new tariffs on imports from most trading partners, which had previously been overturned by the Supreme Court. The companies accuse the administration of unlawfully using Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to reimpose similar tariffs, sparking legal disputes related to the implementation of the tariffs and the recovery of the funds collected—amounting to billions of dollars. During the Trump era, tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% were imposed on imports from several countries, claiming to combat forced labor practices in supply chains. However, foreign companies assert that the government did not conduct specific investigations into each country and relied only on broad allegations.
