MADISON, Wis. (WRN) – Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul challenges a proposed new round of tariffs.
Kaul and attorneys general from 21 other states urge the U.S. Trade Representative to abandon plans for new tariffs on the European Union and dozens of other countries. In a comment letter, the coalition argues the tariffs are illegal and would raise costs for American consumers and businesses.
The proposed duties follow earlier tariff actions that have faced legal challenges in federal courts. Kaul says the tariffs would further strain Wisconsin household budgets and hurt the state’s economy.
