US President Donald Trump is facing a wave of lawsuits over the contentious nature of his authority regarding the imposition of tariffs without Congressional approval. Lawsuits are coming in from across the country a month after the onset of a global trade war. Democratic attorneys general from several states have sought to block Trump's tariffs, while California has filed a separate lawsuit. The dispute centers around
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which critics argue does not authorize tariff imposition.Notably, large business lobbying groups have refrained from lawsuits, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the situation. Small businesses and political groups that have already felt a significant financial blow from the tariffs are prepared to sue Trump. These lawsuits also serve as a test of the limits of presidential power, as they may determine whether the president has the authority to impose such tariffs.
