A coalition of five owner-operated businesses across the country has filed a lawsuit against President Trump's tariffs. Represented by the Liberty Justice Center, they argue that Trump's invocation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs violates constitutional limits on executive power. They claim the tariffs, which he could levy unilaterally without public comment, threaten to severely damage the global economy. This marks one of the broadest legal challenges against his tariffs, involving various trades and businesses operating with international ties.
The lawsuit states that Trump claimed the authority to 'unilaterally levy tariffs' on imports, 'calculated via any methodology - or mere caprice,' without notice or public comment.
The lawsuit involves a wide scope of trades with businesses dealings in 38 countries, including a wine importer in New York, an online fishing gear company, and others.
