A New Jersey food importer has filed a lawsuit in the United States challenging the implementation of 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods. The legal action specifically targets the trade measures associated with former or current President Donald Trump.

According to the legal challenge, the lawsuit argues that the administration bypassed Congress to enact the levies. Furthermore, the complaint alleges that officials misused a Depression-era law as the legal justification for imposing the 50 percent tariffs on imports originating from Canada.
