Donald Trump says his new import taxes are standard.

In short, this is about tariffs.

The Trump administration's new tariffs are being challenged in court.

A law firm that won against Trump's previous tariffs is handling the case.

The lawsuit was filed after new tariffs, including a 12.5% tax on Australian products, were imposed.

Two US businesses are suing Trump over new tariffs on imports from many countries, including Australia.

The businesses' case is being handled by a non-profit law firm that successfully challenged Trump's previous tariffs.

The new tariffs, including a 12.5% tax on Australian imports, started on Friday.

The Trump administration imposed the tariffs after investigating trade partners and finding they did not combat forced labor and slavery well enough.

The suing businesses claim the findings were predetermined and the tariffs are unlawful.

Trump officials said they would find ways to bring back tariffs after the first wave was struck down in court.

The Liberty Justice Center says some statements were made before investigations were completed.

Tariff rates are based on 'forced labor'.

Experts are divided on whether the tariffs will survive.

The Liberty Justice Center filed the lawsuit for two businesses: Burlap & Barrel and Collective Horology.

The lawsuit was filed in the US Court of International Trade, which initially ruled against Trump's previous tariffs.

Trump used tariffs to increase his power until the Supreme Court stepped in.

The lawsuit's success is unclear.

Some analysts say the new tariffs might withstand a legal challenge.

A former US trade negotiator says the likelihood of courts overriding the tariffs is lower than before.

But another expert says the new tariffs represent presidential overreach and might be overturned.

Trump says the tariffs are 'very standard'.

Australian businesses say the tariffs will make it harder to compete in the US and hurt jobs.

The Australian government will argue against the tariffs.

But their effort will likely be limited to negotiation, not a legal challenge.

Trump defended the tariffs today.

He said, 'They're very standard tariffs.'

Trump thought the Supreme Court's decision was not good and has many forms of tariffs.

Before the decision, Australia's exports to the US had a 10% tariff.

The tariff rate increased by 2.5 percentage points when the new tariff started.
