Food importer sues to block Trump's 50% tariffs on Canadian goods

Reuters and CNBC report that New Jersey food importer Gellert Global Group sued Oct. 20 over President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian imports. Trump used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 for duties that took effect Aug. 22. Gellert argues later laws superseded that authority and that the administration failed to meet its requirements. The company seeks an end to the duties and refunds with interest.
