> A coalition of 25 US states has filed suit against the Trump administration over broad new tariffs. The states argue that the president exceeded his legal authority by using a forced-labor rationale to impose duties on dozens of trading partners. They are asking a federal court to block the measures and require refunds for importers affected by them.
