According to a statement released on the 5th by Oregon’s Department of Justice, Oregon, together with 23 other states, filed a lawsuit with the US Court of International Trade seeking to block the new tariff measures recently announced by the Trump administration.
The statement said that for more than a year, the Trump administration has imposed tariffs without legal authorization, throwing the US economy into turmoil. Two weeks ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration’s earlier move to impose additional tariffs on products from multiple countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was unlawful. After the ruling, President Trump did not accept the outcome and instead invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
