The wholesaler is the latest company to sue a federal agency over the president's signature economic policy.

The wholesaler is the latest company to file a lawsuit against a federal agency over the president’s signature economic policy.

Costco Wholesale has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, asking the Court of International Trade to consider all tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful.

The company said in a Nov. 28 filing that it is seeking a “full refund” of all IEEPA duties paid as a result of Donald Trump’s executive order which imposed what he called “reciprocal” tariffs.

“Because IEEPA does not clearly authorize the President to set tariffs…the Challenged Tariff Orders cannot stand and the defendants are not authorized to implement and collect them,” Costco’s lawyer writes in the lawsuit.

Global cosmetics giant Revlon, eyeglass maker EssilorLuxottica, motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki, canned foods seller Bumble Bee, Japanese auto supplier Yokohama Tire and many smaller firms have also filed similar suits

      Coming from the person who just admitted to going through days of my comments to down vote them.

      Also, for those watching from home, it was over a dozen comments. Not “a couple.”

          lol, seriously? Do you check your comments religiously to see how they are being voted on? This has to be the saddest thing I’ve seen online in long while.

          Mind you, from your comments we can see that you’re just an incredibly aggressive person and frequently get downvoted. So of course you would want to know who it is and harass them.

          You’re exactly the reason public logs are an issue. You think every thing is a slight against you. Don’t say stupid shit, don’t get downvoted, what a shocker.

            It’s very funny to me that you do something petty and get caught, and your only defense is “oh yeah? Well it’s actually sad that you noticed I did this.”

            The passive aggressive thing going on is harassing me by down voting all my posts. You’re just upset that you got caught.

            Obviously you think public logs are a problem because you got caught being petty and passive aggressive.
