> Twenty-five states have sued the Trump administration over new tariffs imposed on trading partners. The states allege that the levies are being used as a pretext to bring back tariffs previously struck down as illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court. The case challenges the legal basis for the administration’s tariff policy. It places the disputed measures before the courts again.
