A group of 25 US states are taking legal action against new tariffs imposed by Trump.

A group of 25 US states governed by Democrats sued the administration of President Donald Trump on Monday (August 3), arguing that the latest round of tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners, as well as most of its previous tariffs, exceeds its legal authority to tax imports, according to international news agencies. On July 24, the Trump administration imposed new tariffs of 10% and 12.5% on 60 trading partners, including the European Union and Brazil, claiming they were not doing enough to prevent the export of goods produced with forced labor. Filed by the states in the US Court of International Trade in New York, the lawsuit follows previous challenges filed by small American businesses, which sought legal action to block the tariffs on the day they went into effect last month.
