Democratic-led states sue Trump over tariffs, claim he’s exceeding authority, citing Congress’s sole power in tariff matters.

A coalition of twelve predominantly Democratic-led states has filed a legal challenge against President Trump over the imposition of tariffs. The states have raised concerns about the legality of the tariffs, arguing that Trump is exceeding his authority by implementing them without Congress’s approval. They contend that according to the Constitution, only Congress has the power to enact tariffs. The legal action underscores the ongoing battle between the states and the Trump administration over trade policies. The lawsuit is the latest development in the escalating trade tensions between the US and its trading partners, including India. The outcome of this legal challenge could have significant implications for the future of US trade policy. President Trump has been a vocal advocate for imposing tariffs as a means to protect American industries and jobs. However, critics argue that his approach could lead to a trade war and harm the US economy. The legal battle is likely to further intensify the debate over the extent of presidential authority in setting trade policy. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
