Businesses Sue Trump Administration to Block Tariffs on Canadian Imports

The Trump administration is facing legal challenges aimed at halting tariffs on Canadian imports, with lawsuits arguing the executive branch overstepped its legal authority without congressional approval. The Liberty Justice Center filed a suit in the US Court of International Trade on behalf of Gellert Global Group, a $1.7 billion food importer facing an estimated $40 million annual cost on cheese imports alone. The legal action seeks a preliminary injunction against 50% tariffs that took effect on September 9 under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, following earlier import levies enacted in August.
