A New Jersey food importer files a lawsuit challenging Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods
The importer says the 50% duties exceed presidential authority and seeks to bar tariffs on $20 billion in Canadian goods.
- On Tuesday, The Gellert Global Group, a New Jersey food importer, filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods.
- In August, Trump invoked Section 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act to impose the tariffs, alleging discrimination against U.S. dairy, auto, and alcoholic beverages; Ottawa retaliated, and last month the president banned nearly $1 billion of Canadian products.
- The Liberty Justice Center argues newer trade legislation superseded the president's 1930 authority, which remained dormant for decades before this dispute.
- Liberty Justice Center chair Sara Albrecht stated, "No president should have the power to pull a dormant statute off the shelf and use it to impose sweeping tariffs or import bans without the limits Congress required."
- The U.S. Court of International Trade in New York will hear the case, following the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year to strike down previous Trump administration tariffs.
