New York and other US states sue Trump over ‘illegal and reckless’ tariffs | Trump tariffs

Letitia James, New York Attorney General, and a coalition of 24 Democratic attorneys general and governors are suing Donald Trump to block his new round of tariffs. The lawsuit argues that the president lacks authority to impose these tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which was intended for outdated monetary balance issues. The suit demands refunds for tariff costs incurred by states and seeks to halt the implementation of the tariffs. The White House plans to defend the president's actions in court, claiming they address international payments problems and large balance-of-payments deficits.
