What happened?
- The Liberty Justice Center filed a lawsuit on Oct. 20 in the U.S. Court of International Trade on behalf of food importer Gellert Global Group, seeking to strike down the tariffs, block collection and order refunds, according to the filing and the center's press release.
- The complaint contends the product list was expanded without following a mandatory 30-day waiting period and that tariffs were placed on goods unrelated to the alleged Canadian discrimination.
A lawsuit filed Oct. 20 in the U.S. Court of International Trade by the Liberty Justice Center, on behalf of Gellert Global Group, asks the court to strike down a 50% tariff on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, block collection and order refunds. The complaint argues the president exceeded his authority under Section 338 of the Trade Act of 1930, a provision it says has not been used to impose tariffs in the 96 years since enactment.
