Cause of Action, an independent nonprofit watchdog organization, is trying to force the White House to publicly release a confidential Commerce Department report on whether tariffs on autos and auto parts imports are needed to protect domestic industries.

The department officially delivered the long-delayed report to the White House on Sunday, but the administration is keeping it under wraps. President Trump must announce a decision on the report within 90 days.
