Tariff Tug of War: States Push Back Against Trump's Latest Move A coalition of 25 US states has sued the Trump administration over its imposition of tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners, including Canada, Japan, and China.
The new levies, ranging from 10% to 12. 5%, have been met with resistance from major trading nations.
The lawsuit centers on the claim that the administration is misusing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which was originally designed to target countries engaging in unfair trade practices such as forced labor.
