States Challenge Trump Tariffs | Washington DC News

Twenty-five states are suing the Trump administration over new tariffs, calling them a legal loophole to skirt a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated prior tariffs — while the White House defends them as essential tools to combat global forced labor. Led by New York’s AG, the states argue these taxes unfairly burden families and businesses, especially after losing their previous court battle. The administration justifies the 10% to 12.5% duties on 60 trading partners — covering nearly all U.S. imports — citing unfair trade practices and human rights violations. Even small businesses have joined the legal fray, challenging the tariffs’ broad reach and effectiveness in stopping forced labor.
