Twenty-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.
- Section 122 permits tariffs of up to 15% but limits them to five months unless Congress acts, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said rates will rise from 10% to 15% later this week, with analysts estimating $30 billion in taxes within 150 days.
- On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered U.S. Customs to begin processing tariff refunds, with about 2,000 lawsuits seeking more than $130 billion in claims.
- 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.
