Twenty-five US states filed lawsuits against the Trump administration's new tariffs, citing a Supreme Court ruling that struck down similar import taxes in February. The states claim the tariffs are a 'pretext' for replacing the invalidated tax, while also seeking to protect domestic industries and consumers from the economic impact of the tariffs. The lawsuit targets the Section 301 tariffs imposed on Chinese goods and technology products. The states are challenging the legality of these tariffs under US trade laws.
