Trade dispute
Twelve US states complain against Trump’s customs policy
Pressure on Donald Trump: Several states are drawn to the government’s far -reaching punitive tariffs. Because the states also suffer from the measures.
A dozen US states have sued President Donald Trump’s “illegal” tariffs before the Court of International Trade in New York. With his arbitrarily raised taxes, the President “encountered the constitutional order and overthrew the American economy into chaos,” the lawsuit said. According to the US constitution, the authority, according to the US constitution, is the authorization to collect taxes, tariffs and taxes, not with the President. National trade policy should not depend on its mood.
The democratic states of Oregon, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Vermont as well as the Republican States Arizona and Nevada. Since the tariffs are illegal, the court should override them, they demand according to the lawsuit.
The government of the State of California had already filed a lawsuit for Trump’s far -reaching special tariffs last week. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the huge US tariffs and corresponding retaliatory measures burden the global budget situation. The USA itself also suffers from the measures.
Trump wants to set tariffs in the next two to three weeks
Nevertheless, Trump wants to set tariffs in the next two to three weeks if he sees no progress in discussions with the USA international trading partners. “If we have no agreement with a company or a country, we will set customs. We simply set the customs,” Trump said when signing several decrees about the education system in Washington. This could also apply to China. Perhaps there is a special agreement for China.
According to Trump, the USA and China are in daily contact. When asked by a journalist whether there was any direct contact with China in the trade conflict, Trump replied: “Yes, of course. And every day, every day.”
Trump had escalated the trade conflict in early April by raising special tariffs against numerous countries. Later he ordered a 90-day break of the serves. Special tariffs of up to 145 percent still apply only on products from China. In return, Beijing raised tariffs of 125 percent on goods from the United States.
