In a move that is likely to escalate the ongoing trade tensions, a coalition of 25 Democrat-led states has filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, challenging the constitutionality of his recent tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. The lawsuit, which was announced on Wednesday, claims that Trump's new tariffs are an "end run" around the Supreme Court's decision in the 2020 case of 'National Pork Producers Council v. Ross', which limited the president's authority to impose tariffs without congressional approval. By filing this lawsuit, the states are seeking to block the tariffs and prevent them from taking effect, arguing that they are a clear overreach of executive power. The lawsuit is the latest development in a long-standing dispute between Trump and the states over trade policy, and its outcome could have significant implications for the future of US trade policy.
