Overview

Stonemaier Games, a well-known company from St. Louis, is joining a lawsuit against President Donald Trump regarding international tariffs. The leadership claims these tariffs threaten their employees’ jobs.

Founded in 2012, Stonemaier Games became famous for the popular board game Wingspan. They are currently seeking alternatives to raise prices for their products while coping with tariff impacts.

Summary of the Lawsuit

• Stonemaier estimates that the tariffs could lead to a financial loss of about $1.5 million.
• The lawsuit aims to contest the president’s authority to impose such tariffs.

Stonemaier has announced that they joined this action similar to other tech giants like Microsoft and Sony in their fight against harmful tariff policies during Trump’s presidency.

Recent Developments

In a positive note, it seems that legal actions may have influenced Trump’s recent announcement about reducing tariffs on imports from China.

“Tariffs against China will come down substantially.”
Translation: The president hopes that a new trade deal will be achieved.
