Why are 25 states suing the U.S. president

A coalition of 25 Democrat-run states is suing President Donald Trump and his administration to block a sweeping new round of import tariffs. The states argue that the administration bypassed federal law and used a flawed investigation to impose massive taxes on American consumers.The lawsuit, filed on August 3, 2026, in the U.S. Court of International Trade, targets the administration's newly enacted 10% to 12.5% tariffs affecting roughly 60 to 80 international trading partners—countries that account for roughly 99% of all American imports.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-s-take--6662936/support.
