Oregon Department of Justice lawyers and President Donald Trump's lawyers argued for over three hours at the U.S Court of International Trade in New York City about the legality of the president's new 10% global tariffs. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield is the leading plaintiff in the case, which was brought by officials from 24 states, including Arizona, California and New York. The lawsuit argues that the tariffs don't meet requirements of the law and that the value of the dollar is no longer pegged to the price of gold. The judge ruled that the new tariffs are legal under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to impose tariffs up to 15% for 150 days when the country is experiencing "balance of payment" deficits.
