> A coalition of 25 US states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday. In a court document, the states argue that President Donald Trump exceeded his legal authority by imposing sweeping new tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners. The case challenges the legal basis for the tariff measures. The states are seeking judicial review of the administration’s action.
