CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a U.S. Court of International Trade ruling that the tariffs imposed by President Trump and challenged by Raoul and a multistate coalition are unlawful. The tariffs include both the “reciprocal” tariffs on nearly all countries worldwide as well as separate tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China that the president claimed were justified by concerns about drug trafficking.

The Federal Circuit is the latest court to conclude that these tariffs are unlawful. However, the tariffs currently remain in effect. “I am pleased with the court's decision upholding a Court of International Trade ruling that the president has acted unlawfully and exceeded
