Trump sued over Canadian tariffs in latest legal challenge

Trump faces legal challenge over Canadian tariffs, signaling geopolitical trade friction.

What happened: The Liberty Justice Center sued on behalf of US food business Gellert Global Group over the White House's 50% levy on some Canadian goods, asking the US Court of International Trade to find the tariffs unlawful and order refunds with interest. Key numbers: 50% levy on some $20bn of Canadian goods; trade talks broke down in August; Section 338 Why it matters: The suit challenges the administration's use of Section 338, arguing it does not allow sweeping tariffs whenever a trade dispute arises, and the group also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to block collection.
