- Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced a multi-state lawsuit on April 23, 2025, challenging the Trump Administration’s executive orders that allow for the imposition of tariffs without congressional approval, with participation from 12 states.
- The lawsuit targets significant tariffs imposed on imports, including a 145% tariff on products from China and a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, arguing that these tariffs disproportionately affect American consumers and contribute to rising inflation.
- The case, filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, contends that only Congress has the constitutional authority to impose taxes and tariffs, asserting that the executive orders violate this principle and harm the economic wellbeing of families and local businesses.
