Trump's Tariff Takedown: What's Behind the Latest Battle over Trade A coalition of 25 US states has joined forces to challenge President Donald Trump's new tariffs, which they claim are a thinly veiled attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court's February ruling that struck down several import taxes.
The states' lawsuit argues that the tariffs have no rational connection to the alleged problem of forced labor in international supply chains.
The White House insists that the tariffs are lawful, with spokesman Kush Desai stating that the administration is exercising its authority to address unreasonable acts, policies, and practices that burden US commerce.
