The Liberty Justice Center, a libertarian advocacy group that successfully challenged earlier Trump tariffs, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York, challenging the double-digit import taxes that Trump imposed Friday.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration, invoking the Trade Act of 1974, targeted 16 U.S. trading partners with tariffs of 10% to 12.5%, charging that they had failed to crack down on imports produced by forced labor.<\/p>\n
But the Liberty Justice Center calls the new tariffs a pretext to allow Trump to maintain a wall of tariffs around the U.S. economy after the Supreme Court struck down big global taxes he\u2019d imposed last year.<\/p>\n
The new levies took effect at 12:01 a.m. Friday as time ran out on temporary tariffs Trump had turned to after the Supreme Court defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe administration allowed one global tariff to expire and immediately replaced it with another under a different statute,\u201d said Sara Albrecht, chair of the Liberty Justice Center. \u201cChanging the statute doesn\u2019t change the law. Every tariff authority has limits, and every administration must respect them.\u201d<\/p>\n
