Less than three weeks after the Supreme Court rejected the legal basis that former President Trump had cited for imposing universal tariffs globally, a legal battle over his new tariff policies to replace these import taxes has already begun to heat up. On Friday, the attorneys general and governors of 24 Democratic states, along with a libertarian group representing two small businesses, submitted the first legal briefs requesting a federal trade court to overturn the 10% tariffs imposed by Trump in February on most of America's trade partners (Trump had promised to raise these tariffs to 15%, but has not yet implemented them). However, the legal basis for Trump's new round of tariffs is more solid than the previous "Liberation Day Tariffs," making it harder for challengers to have them overturned in court. While Democratic state leaders who are already opposing these new tariffs are confident about winning, Trump currently has the advantage of time, and the challengers must convince judges that Trump's assertion that the United States faces a significant "balance of payments deficit" is incorrect.
