25 US States Sue Trump Administration Over New Tariffs on 60 Countries Including India
Twenty-five Democratic-led US states have sued the Trump administration, challenging new tariffs imposed on imports from 60 countries, including India. The states argue the tariffs, justified by claims of combating forced labor, exceed presidential authority and attempt to replace duties struck down by the Supreme Court. The administration used Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 after earlier tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act were invalidated. The lawsuit seeks to block the tariffs and refund collected duties, highlighting ongoing legal disputes over US trade policy.
