global tariffs

Democratic-led states sued President Trump over new global tariffs, calling them 'equally unlawful' to previous invalidated tariffs. Small businesses also launched legal challenges against the latest tariffs.

Twenty five states sued the Trump administration, arguing its latest global tariffs unlawfully replace duties already struck down by courts.

Trump is replacing expiring global tariffs with forced-labor duties on 60 countries. The new duties of 10% to 12.5% took effect on the same day Trump's temporary 10% worldwide tariff expired.

U.S. trading partners have rejected the forced-labor rationale behind Trump's new global tariffs, while most indicated plans to continue negotiations. The move has drawn criticism from international trade partners.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will testify before the House Ways and Means Committee about President Trump’s trade agenda. The hearing follows the Supreme Court’s rejection of most of Trump’s global tariffs, prompting the president to impose a new 10 percent global tariff.
