Tap title to read story
Twelve US states, led by New York, filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump's authority to impose tariffs without Congressional approval. The suit argues Trump misused the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to enact levies on goods from China, Mexico, Canada, and other countries, disrupting global trade. The White House countered, stating the administration is using its legal authority to address national emergencies. The lawsuit contends Trump's actions upended the constitutional order and caused economic chaos. This follows a similar California lawsuit and others challenging Trump's use of the IEEPA for tariffs.
