State AGs sue after Supreme Court decision
NEW: New York AG Letitia James and 23 states sue to block Trump’s latest global tariffs, seeking refunds and deeming them illegal after Supreme Court struck down previous effort. Trump faces backlash for imposing tariffs, causing economic chaos. (196 characters)
A coalition led by New York Attorney General Letitia James is suing President Donald Trump in an attempt to block his latest global tariffs. The lawsuit, filed in the Court of International Trade, argues that Trump’s use of Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose tariffs is improper and unconstitutional. The coalition of 24 states, including those that successfully blocked Trump’s previous tariffs, accuses the president of trying to sidestep a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his previous tariffs. The ongoing legal battle adds to the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariff policies and their impact on consumers and small businesses.
