US EditionTwenty-four US states announce lawsuit to stop Trump’s latest global tariffs
- Attorneys general of Oregon, Arizona, California and New York sued Thursday in the U.S. Court of International Trade to block President Donald Trump’s 10% global tariffs and seek refunds.
- Because the high court struck down the IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Feb. 20 decision prompted the administration to invoke Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.

- The state attorneys general argue the levies violate separation-of-powers and Trade Act rules requiring consistent application, while legal scholars highlight the major questions doctrine shaping court review.
