纽约，3月9日（路透社） – 周一，两家小企业起诉特朗普政府的最新一轮关税政策，称在美最高法院推翻政府此前的关税政策后，总统不能简单地利用另一部法律重新对进口商品征收10%的全球税。
由香料进口商Burlap & Barrel公司和玩具公司Basic Fun公司提起的诉讼，与上周24个美国州组成的联盟提出的论点类似。这些州称，共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普依据对一项陈旧贸易法的误读来实施新关税，而该法律原本是为解决历史货币问题而非常规贸易逆差。

Burlap & Barrel联合创始人伊森·弗里施在声明中表示，这些关税主要损害了像他公司这样的美国小型进口商和美国消费者，而非外国政府。
“突如其来的全球关税让我们更难运营，让我们的合作伙伴更难销售其农作物，也让美国家庭支出增加，”弗里施说。“我们加入此案，因为贸易政策不应通过虚构经济危机来制定。”
由非营利法律组织“自由司法中心”提起的这起诉讼，是首个挑战新关税的私人诉讼。
特朗普将关税作为其外交政策的核心支柱，利用关税作为全球谈判贸易协定的杠杆。但美国最高法院2月20日裁定，特朗普的大部分关税非法，废除了他依据《国际紧急经济权力法》实施的关税——该法律此前从未被用于征收关税。

NEW YORK, March 9 (Reuters) – Two small businesses on Monday sued the Trump administration over its latest round of tariffs, saying that the president cannot simply use a different law to reimpose a global 10-percent tax on imported goods after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the administration’s previous tariffs.
The lawsuit, filed by spice importer Burlap & Barrel, Inc. and toy company Basic Fun Inc., mirrors arguments made last week by a coalition of 24 U.S. states, saying that Republican President Donald Trump is imposing the new tariffs based on a misreading of an archaic trade law that was meant to address historical monetary concerns rather than routine trade deficits.

Ethan Frisch, co-founder of Burlap & Barrel, said in a statement that the tariffs mostly hurt small U.S. importers like his company and American consumers, rather than foreign governments.
“Sudden global tariffs make it harder for us to operate, harder for our partners to sell their crops, and more expensive for American families,” Frisch said. “We joined this case because trade policy shouldn’t be made by inventing an economic crisis.”
The lawsuit, filed by the legal nonprofit Liberty Justice Center, is the first private lawsuit to challenge the new tariffs.
Trump has made tariffs a central pillar of his foreign policy, using them as leverage to negotiate trade deals around the globe. But the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on February 20 that most of Trump’s tariffs were illegal, invalidating tariffs that he had imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law that had previously never been used to impose tariffs.
