Small Businesses File Lawsuits Against Trump Administration Over New Global Tariffs

Small businesses have filed two lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade, challenging the Trump administration's new global tariffs. The lawsuits allege that President Trump and U.S. officials unlawfully used Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to implement duties of 10% to 12.5% on imports from major trading partners. These tariffs, which took effect Friday, follow a forced labor probe and replace previous duties struck down by the Supreme Court, potentially impacting import costs for many businesses.
