Most of a dozen states led by Democrats sued President Donald Trump on their tariff on Wednesday, arguing that he did not have “arbitrary tariffs as he has done here”.
Saying that only the Congress has the power to enact a law, the states have been asked to prevent the Trump administration from implementing the trump administration that what they said were illegal tariffs.
“These addicts reflect a national trade policy that now rests on the fad of the President rather than the sound practice of his valid rights,” the trial said. State, including New York and Oregon, are the latest parties to take the Trump government to court on tariffs. This comes after California filed its suit last week, saying that the trade war has caused the state’s economy “immediate and irreparable loss”.
Oregon’s Attorney General, Dan Refield said, “When a president carries forward an illegal policy, which increases prices in a grocery store and spikes utility bills, it is not a luxury to stand near us,” said Oregon’s Attorney General Dan Refield said, the major witness in the suit filed on Wednesday.
A WH spokesperson called the case “witch hunting” by Democrat against Trump.
