The lawsuit against Trump’s tariff policy was brought by two groups: the Liberty Justice Center, representing five small business owners, and a coalition of 12 U.S. states led by Oregon.
They argued that the tariffs undermined the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield denounced Trump’s actions as reckless and unlawful.
“Major trade decisions that affect millions should never rest on the unilateral will of one president,” Rayfield emphasized.
If the Trump team’s appeal fails, this ruling could set a major precedent in redefining the limits of executive power in economic policymaking.
Trump, long known for his aggressive stance on trade, now finds himself truly cornered by his own country’s constitutional law.***
