25 States Sue Trump Administration Over New Tariffs
8 hours ago
A coalition of 25 states is suing the Trump administration over its latest round of tariffs, arguing the new import taxes are an unlawful attempt to replace tariffs previously struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. The lawsuit, led by Democratic attorneys general, contends the administration exceeded its legal authority by imposing the new duties.
The White House says the tariffs are aimed at countries it believes have failed to crack down on goods produced with forced labor, calling the action necessary to protect American workers and supply chains.
The legal challenge is expected to set up another major court battle over the administration's trade policy and executive authority.
