The Court declined to hear a legal challenge to Trump’s tariffs on imported steel products Monday, allowing both the lower court’s decision in favor of the administration and the tariffs to stand.
The court rejected a petition by the American Institute for International Steel (AIIS), a pro-free trade group which represents the interests of steel importers and users of such products. The petition was in response to Trump’s March 2018 imposition of 25% tariffs on imported steel as well as 10% tariffs on imported aluminum. The tariff includes exceptions in multiple countries, including Mexico and Canada.
