US states sue to stop Trump’s latest global tariffs
AI Summary
In March 2026, 24 US states, led by Democratic states like New York and California, sued the Trump administration over newly imposed 10% global tariffs. The lawsuit, filed in the US Court of International Trade, challenges the legality of the tariffs, arguing that President Trump is circumventing a recent Supreme Court ruling that invalidated his previous tariffs. Trump imposed the new tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, claiming they are necessary to reduce US trade deficits. The states contend that Section 122, which allows tariffs for short-term monetary emergencies, is being misapplied to address trade deficits, which occur when a nation imports more than it exports. They also argue that the law was intended to address archaic monetary risks, not routine trade imbalances.
