25 States Sue Trump Over New Tariffs on 60 Partners

A coalition of 25 states has filed suit against the Trump administration over fresh tariffs of 10–12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, arguing the levies are an illegal workaround after the Supreme Court struck down earlier tariffs in February. The states are asking the US Court of International Trade to halt the duties entirely. The case lands at a moment when the administration is already facing mounting legal and political headwinds on trade.
