A Small, Family-Run Wine Business Took on the U.S. Executive Branch and Won
- On Wednesday, a unanimous decision by a panel of three judges from the U.S. Trade court determined that President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs targeting imports from China, Mexico, and Canada were illegal and subsequently stopped their enforcement.
- The tariffs were imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which the court found does not grant the President unlimited authority, leading to the legal challenge by small businesses impacted by the tariffs.
- VOS Selections, a small father-daughter wine import business from New York, led by founder Victor Schwartz, joined four other small companies in suing the administration with legal support from the Liberty Justice Center.
- Victor Schwartz expressed great happiness over the recent decision by the Court of International Trade supporting their legal challenge to the Trump administration’s Liberation Day tariffs, while emphasizing that the issue remains unresolved due to anticipated appeals.
- The ruling could significantly disrupt the enforcement of many tariffs affecting small businesses and trade negotiations, while the Trump administration has already filed an immediate appeal against the decision.
