- Lawsuit alleges the president exceeded statutory authority.

## Summary

Two small US businesses have sued the Trump administration over a new round of tariffs, arguing that the president exceeded his legal authority to impose them. The challenge matters because it tests whether the administration can sustain its revised global tariff policy after earlier broad import duties were struck down in court.

The case was brought in the US Court of International Trade by spice importer Burlap & Barrel and California watch retailer Collective Horology. The tariffs, which took effect on Friday, impose double-digit duties on goods from about 60 trading partners and were justified by the administration as a response to alleged failures to prevent forced labour; the plaintiffs argue they improperly recreate previously invalidated tariffs.
