US small businesses oppose Trump’s new tariffs on forced labor

Two small businesses have filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s recent tariffs on goods from 60 countries, asserting that these tariffs exceed his legal authority. The lawsuit claims that the tariffs, imposed over allegations of forced labor, lack the necessary country-specific findings required for legal justification. The businesses argue that Trump’s broad approach to tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act deviates from historical precedents and seek to have the tariffs declared unlawful and prevent their enforcement.
