25 US States Sue Trump Administration Over New Tariffs on 60 Countries
Twenty-five Democratic-led US states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging new tariffs imposed on imports from 60 countries, including India. The states argue that the administration exceeded its legal authority by using Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose broad tariffs under the pretext of combating forced labor, following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated previous tariffs under a different law. The administration defends the tariffs as necessary to address unfair trade practices and forced labor concerns.
