25 states sue to stop Trump administration's latest tariffs
More than two dozen states are challenging the Trump administration's most recent round of widespread tariffs.
Twenty-five states filed a lawsuit on Monday calling the latest import duties from the White House a pretext for replacing ones struck down by the Supreme Court early this year.
In February, the justices ruled that the foundation for many of the tariffs previously imposed by the Trump administration did not authorize such taxes.
After losing at the Supreme Court, the administration is once again trying to illegally raise taxes on families and businesses.
Section 301 tariffs have proven to be a legally durable tool since the President's first term, and they remain so now.
The tariffs will range from 10% to 12.5% and apply to 60 trading partners.
Canada, the European Union, Mexico, and Taiwan are among the countries facing 10% tariffs.
China, Japan, South Korea, and multiple other nations are being hit with the higher 12.5% tariff.
Within days of the White House's July 23 announcement, two cases were filed by small businesses over the hikes.
The small-business lawsuits argued the tariffs do not target a specific economy and the White House did not explain how the tariffs would help curb forced labor in the targeted countries.
