Nintendo sues US government over Donald Trump's illegal tariffs

Nintendo filed suit against the U.S. government and multiple officials on Friday in the United States Court of International Trade, seeking the prompt refund, with interest, of duties it paid over the past year. The complaint names Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury; Kristi Noem, the (now-former) Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; Jamieson Greer, U.S.

trade representative; Rodney Scott, U.S. Customs & Border Protection commissioner; and Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce. The suit challenges tariffs imposed under executive orders by President Trump that invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977, noting the Supreme Court recently struck down the IEEPA duties.

It says Nintendo has "standing to sue because it is the importer of record for goods that were subject to IEEPA Duties" and details executive orders that imposed tariffs on countries including Canada, Mexico, China, Brazil, and India.
