Tong said the costs associated with the tariffs would increase the price of essential consumer goods. He’s back with another unlawful, baseless attempt to impose tariffs and raise costs for families who are already feeling the strain of higher costs. The latest lawsuit is challenging Trump’s most recent attempt to impose tariffs, despite lacking the legal authority to do so, Tong said. In February, the Supreme Court rejected that claim, agreeing with several state attorneys general that the IEEPA tariffs were unlawful. By imposing another round of price increases on American consumers and businesses, the Trump Administration is tripling down on failed economic policies.
