Handel: 25 US-Bundesstaaten klagen gegen neue Zölle der Trump-Regierung
Auch die jüngste Runde an Zöllen stößt in den USA auf Widerstand. Bundesstaaten und kleine Unternehmen sind bisher oft erfolgreich gegen Trumps Handelspolitik vorgegangen.
On Monday, a group of 25 US states with Democratic leadership filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump's administration over new tariffs imposed recently. According to the office of Oregon's State Attorney General Dan Rayfield, the legal actions target the new duties on goods from 60 trade partners. The Trump administration levied the tariffs on July 24, including countries and alliances such as the European Union, citing a need to combat exports of goods produced through forced labor.
The new duties took effect on the same day as an earlier 10 percent US tariff was set to expire. The lawsuit filed at the US International Trade Court in New York follows similar moves by smaller US businesses, who had attempted to halt the tariffs on the day they came into effect in July. Both states and small companies have previously succeeded in challenging previous global tariffs imposed by Trump in his second term. Despite several legal setbacks, President Trump remains committed to implementing new tariffs.
