Twenty-five states sue over Trump's tariffs
Twenty-five U.S. states, including two led by Republican governors, have filed a lawsuit against the Donald Trump administration challenging the imposition of tariffs on imports from 60 countries. The new tariffs, ranging between 10% and 12.5%, are applied to major trading partners such as China, India, and the European Union. Critics argue that these tariffs lack a legal basis and exceed the president's authority without justified reason, citing claims related to combating forced labor in supply chains. This lawsuit comes after the Trump administration reinstated tariffs that had been lifted by the Supreme Court. The administration defends its measures as a lawful means to counter discriminatory trade practices, while the plaintiffs describe these actions as illegal and having negative economic impacts.
