12 States SUE Trump Over ‘Illegal’ Tariffs | Lawsuit Claims IEEPA Misused To Impose Tariffs

Twelve U.S. states, led by New York, are suing President Trump over his sweeping tariff policies, arguing he violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress. The lawsuit challenges his use of the International Emergency Powers Act to justify tariffs on goods from China, Mexico, and more. The White House calls it a political stunt and vows to fight back.
