A NEW JERSEY FOOD IMPORTER FILES A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING TRUMP 50 % TARIFFS ON CANADIAN GOODS

What happened: A New Jersey food importer, Gellert Global Group, sued in the U.S. Court of International Trade to challenge Trump's use of Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian goods. Key numbers: 50% tariff on $20 billion of Canadian goods; Section 338 dates to 1930; ban covers nearly $1 billion Why it matters: The Liberty Justice Center, representing the importer, argues newer trade laws superseded Section 338, and the White House says it will vigorously defend the tariffs. Section 338 authority had never been used in a trade dispute or tested in court. Coverage: 4 outlets in 24h
