States Challenge New Tariffs as Legal Loophole | Oakland News
Description
Twenty-five states are suing over new tariffs, calling them a legal workaround after the Supreme Court blocked previous ones under IEEPA. The administration argues these 10–12.5% duties, now backed by Section 301, are lawful tools to combat forced labor imports — but attorneys general say it’s an illegal tax hike and a power grab. Two small business lawsuits add fuel to the fire, questioning the government’s justification and effectiveness. This is a high-stakes clash over trade policy, executive authority, and what’s fair for families and businesses.
