States sue to block Trump-era global tariffs, alleging overreach

A coalition of 25 Democratic-led states filed suit in the U.S. Court of International Trade to block 10%–12.5% tariffs on goods from 60 trading partners, arguing the administration exceeded its authority under Section 301, bypassed country-specific reviews, and should refund duties; the White House defends the tariffs as lawful, while opponents say the regime is overbroad.
