A coalition of twelve U.S. states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking to halt what they describe as ‘reckless and insane’ tariff policies that they argue are illegal and damaging to the economy. Legal representatives from states including New York, Oregon, and Delaware are claiming that these tariffs represent an unlawful tax hike. The lawsuit has sparked significant political and legal debate, with a bipartisan group of legal scholars expressing support for the challenge. Amidst financial uncertainties and the ongoing implications of these tariffs on small businesses, the multistate coalition is attempting to bring the matter before a trade court to stop the enactment of new tariffs.
