Trump extends tariff decree against Brazil A group of 25 American states governed by the Democratic Party filed a lawsuit this Monday (3) to contest the most recent round of import tariffs announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, against products from 60 trading partners. The information was released by the office of Oregon State Attorney General Dan Rayfield. The action was filed at the United States Court of International Trade, in New York, the court responsible for adjudicating disputes related to foreign trade. The lawsuit joins other lawsuits filed by small American companies, which went to court last month, on the same day the new tariffs came into force, to try to prevent their application. US small businesses sue Trump over new tariffs on 60 countries States and small businesses have already managed to overturn other global tariffs imposed by Trump during his second term in court. Even after these legal defeats, however, the president continued to announce new measures to tax imported products. On July 24, the Trump administration announced new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% ??on products from 60 trading partners, including the European Union. According to the White House, the measure was adopted because these countries were not doing enough to prevent the export of products made with forced labor, a practice considered a violation of human rights. The new tariffs came into force shortly after the end of validity of a 10% global tariff that already applied to imports. In a statement, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield criticized the government's decision. "Even after losing in court at every stage, Trump is once again trying to create instability for working families and businesses in Oregon. We are the ones paying the price for these illegal tariffs, not foreign governments," he said. *Updating
