US EditionArizona, Oregon lead court motion to stop Trump's tariffs
- On Wednesday, a group of Democratic state attorneys general, led by officials from Arizona and Oregon, submitted a court motion in the Court of International Trade aiming to stop President Trump's tariffs.
- The motion follows a lawsuit filed in late April that challenges Trump's executive orders imposing tariffs without congressional approval on multiple countries.
- The tariffs impose a 145% levy on the majority of Chinese imports, a 25% charge on products originating in Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on most goods imported from other countries, causing disruptions to state purchasing and budget planning.
- Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes warned that without judicial action, the States could experience significant and lasting damage, while Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield highlighted that the tariffs are imposing an estimated additional annual cost of $3,800 on the average family.
- The states assert only Congress can impose such tariffs and argue that President Trump's actions are unconstitutional and economically harmful, urging immediate court intervention to stop further damage.
