Here’s How Much Wisconsin Businesses Paid in Tariffs Last Year
Wisconsin AG Kaul and 20 others claim Trump's tariffs violate legal limits and the Administrative Procedure Act, citing $3.5 billion tariffs paid by Wisconsin businesses in 2025.
- On Thursday, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul joined attorneys general from 21 states and the governors of Pennsylvania and Kentucky to file a federal lawsuit seeking to block tariffs announced last week.
- The lawsuit contends Section 122 was misapplied, arguing it targets large balance-of-payments deficits, not ordinary trade deficits, and authorizes temporary 15% tariffs for a 150-day period extendable by Congress.
- Analyses show Wisconsin businesses paid an estimated $3.5 billion in tariffs, and Kaul said 'At a time when so many people are concerned about affordability challenges, President Trump’s tariffs have made the situation worse'.
- The coalition asks a federal court to block the tariffs, arguing the administration imposed levies without congressional approval and violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
- The dispute raises questions about presidential authority over trade, as last week's tariff announcement followed Supreme Court rulings that struck down many earlier tariffs, prompting the multistate coalition to warn of impacts on nationwide consumers and businesses.
