Customs duties: a complaint filed in the United States against the surcharge on Canadian products

Gellert Global Group has filed a lawsuit against the 50% tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on certain Canadian products, claiming it harms American businesses. The tariffs were introduced following Canada's retaliation against U.S. duties. The company argues that the U.S. government overstepped its authority, as tax powers lie with Congress, not the president. Previous Supreme Court rulings have deemed similar tariffs unconstitutional, leading to significant refunds to affected businesses. Tensions between Canada and the U.S. escalated after failed negotiations to avoid a $20 billion tariff on Canadian goods, prompting reciprocal duties from Canada and further straining relations under Trump's administration.
