Twenty-five states, including Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration over its latest tariffs, calling them a pretext for replacing import taxes the Supreme Court struck down in February, according to a report by the Associated Press.
In July, the U.S. imposed double digit tariffs on 59 countries and the European Union, claiming they have not done enough to stop imports produced by forced labor.
“After losing at the Supreme Court, the administration is once again trying to illegally raise taxes on families and businesses with a new round of tariffs,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Joining New York and Wisconsin in the lawsuit announced Monday are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont and Washington.
