NEW JERSEY FOOD IMPORTER FILES 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 challenging 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 of Canadian products; July Why it matters: The Liberty Justice Center, which represents Gellert, argues newer trade laws superseded Section 338. The center previously challenged Trump tariffs before the Supreme Court, which struck down earlier tariffs in February.
