25 states sue Trump to stop new tariffs
More than two dozen states – nearly all led by Democrats – are suing the Trump administration over its latest tariffs. Last month, the government announced double-digit levies on 60 trading partners, saying they had not done enough to crack down on imports produced by forced labor.
The new tariffs took effect just as prior ones expired. In their lawsuit, the states argue the president exceeded his authority, and is trying to replace tariffs that the supreme court struck down earlier this year.
They are asking the U.S. Court of International Trade to halt the tariffs and refund duties paid by the states.
