Twenty-five US states filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that 10–12.5% tariffs on goods from about 60 trading partners—imposed under Section 301—are arbitrary and unlawful. The White House defends the measures as a lawful move to address forced-labor concerns, with the duties covering about 99.4% of US imports.
