As the US-China trade war continues to escalate, a key player in the nation's history of tariff disputes is once again taking center stage: Oregon. The state has a long history of involvement in high-stakes trade litigation, dating back to a landmark case in the 19th century. In recent years, Oregon has found itself at the forefront of battles over tariffs, including a high-profile case that saw the state's timber industry take on the federal government over trade restrictions. Now, with tensions between the US and China running high, Oregon is once again poised to play a major role in shaping the nation's trade policies.
