12 States SUE Trump Over ‘Illegal’ Tariffs | Lawsuit Claims IEEPA Misused To Impose Tariffs

Twelve U.S. states, led by New York, are suing President Trump over his sweeping tariff policies, arguing he violated the Constitution by bypassing Congress. The lawsuit challenges his use of the International Emergency Powers Act to justify tariffs on goods from China, Mexico, and more. The White House calls it a political stunt and vows to fight back. As Trump defends the tariffs as tools against illegal migration and trade deficits, legal experts warn of a dangerous precedent that could reshape executive power. #TrumpTariffs #USPolitics #TradeWar #LegalBattle #TariffLawsuit #StatesVsTrump #InternationalTrade #EmergencyPowers #IEEPA #ConstitutionalCrisis #NewYorkAG #WhiteHouse #EconomicPolicy #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #CongressVsPresident #TradeTensions #GlobalTrade #USChinaRelations #MexicoTariffs #CanadaTrade #LegalNews #PresidentialPowers #TariffFight #TariffBacklash #Trump2025 #PoliticalDrama #FentanylCrisis #ImmigrationPolicy #ExecutiveOverreach Also Read US President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin Condemned Pahalgam Terrorist Attack, Call It A Brutal Crime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-russias-vladimir-putin-condemned-pahalgam-terrorist-attack-call-it-a-br-4131695.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Sues Donald Trump Administration Over Cut In US Federal Funding :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-sues-donald-trump-administration-over-cut-in-us-federal-funding-4130575.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~
