A coalition of 24 states has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s latest round of 10% Section 122 tariffs, setting up another legal battle over the administration’s trade policy just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down an earlier tariff program.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade and argues that the president doesn’t have the authority to impose sweeping global tariffs without congressional approval.
State attorneys general behind the case say the administration is attempting to work around the Supreme Court’s recent decision by using a different legal justification to impose the tariffs.
The dispute centers on a new tariff policy that would add a 10% tax on imported goods, with Trump saying he plans to raise the rate to 15% across the board.
