Democratic US states sue to challenge Trump’s latest tariffs

25 states sue over Trump's new tariffs, calling them 'pretext' to replace his old ones

The new tariffs took effect just as the clock ran out on temporary tariffs President Donald Trump had turned to after the Supreme Court defeat.

Major American companies are adopting different approaches to using the millions of dollars in refunds they are now receiving from the government, after President Donald Trump’s tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court in February.

The states’ lawsuit filed in the US ‌Court of International Trade in New York follows previous challenges by small US businesses, which sued to block the tariffs on the day they went into effect last month.
