Groups ask trade court to pause Trump's new tariffs amid legal fight
Advocacy groups argue the tariffs are unprecedented and unconstitutional, urging a pause while legal challenges proceed in the U.S. Court of International Trade.
- Advocacy groups, including Advancing American Freedom, petitioned the United States Court of International Trade to block President Donald Trump's new 10% global tariff, arguing the measures under Section 122 of the Trade Act are unconstitutional.
- Following the Supreme Court's invalidation of his previous tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, President Donald Trump imposed the new 10% levy using the Trade Act.
- Critics like Marc Wheat, general counsel for Advancing American Freedom, argue the administration uses Section 122 to "trample over constitutional checks," noting businesses await refunds from previously invalidated tariffs.
- Democratic-Led states and several small businesses filed separate lawsuits in the United States Court of International Trade challenging the tariffs, with the Court ordering the federal government to respond by April 3.
- Because Section 122 has never been applied in this context, its legal boundaries remain untested in the United States Court; critics warn that allowing continued collection could cause significant financial hardship and ignite new debates over executive power.
