A dozen states sue the Trump administration to stop tariff policy

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘A dozen states sued the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York on Wednesday to stop its tariff policy, saying it is unlawful and has brought chaos to the American economy.

The lawsuit said the policy put in place by President Donald Trump has left the national trade policy subject to Trump’s “whims rather than the sound exercise of lawful authority.”

It challenged Trump’s claim that he could arbitrarily impose tariffs based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The suit asks the court to declare the tariffs to be illegal, and to block government agencies and its officers from enforcing them. A message sent to the Justice Department for comment was not immediately returned.

The states listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit were Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Vermont.’

Very good.

More states need to do the same – the tariffs are unwarranted and illegal.

My prediction is that Trump loses far more than he wins, he would win this one.

Where's Congress?

Where's Congress?

Congress gave presidents the authority to set tariffs. They can't take it back, Trump would veto it.
