A coalition of 24 U.S. states has filed a lawsuit to block new global tariffs introduced by Donald Trump, marking the first major legal challenge to the policy. The states argue the administration illegally imposed 10–15% tariffs on imports worldwide using the Trade Act of 1974, just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down earlier tariffs enacted under emergency powers. Led by states such as New York, California and Oregon, the lawsuit claims the president exceeded his authority and bypassed Congress. Filed in the U.S. Court of International Trade, the case seeks to halt the tariffs and potentially force refunds for businesses already affected. (PC: Reuters)
