WASHINGTON D.C. — A collection of small businesses filed a lawsuit on Friday against the Trump administration. The legal action addresses the administration's latest round of tariffs, which apply to goods from 60 U.S. trade partners. The tariffs took effect on Thursday, the day before the businesses filed their complaint. The lawsuit seeks to halt the enforcement of these new import duties.
