> New Jersey-based Gellert Global Group has sued Trump in the US Court of International Trade, arguing he lacked authority to impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods under a 1930 law without congressional approval. The importer wants the tariffs declared illegal, collection halted and affected importers reimbursed with interest.
