Nintendo filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government on Friday over its extraction of tariffs from global businesses. The gaming giant is seeking a refund for any duties it paid due to President Donald Trump’s executive orders that invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
This lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, comes after a Supreme Court decision struck down the tariffs that the president imposed under IEEPA, arguing that he exceeded his authority. More than a thousand other companies have already sued for refunds on the tariffs that they pay; according to Nintendo’s complaint, viewed by TechCrunch, these tariffs have resulted in the collection of over $200 billion on imports in total.
“We can confirm that we have filed a request,” Nintendo told TechCrunch in a statement. “We have nothing else to share on the topic.”
In response to the Supreme Court’s decision — which he called “extraordinarily anti-American” — President Trump raised tariffs from 10% to 15%. Now, 24 states have sued to argue that the president has once again overstepped the limits of his power by making this change.
