Washington: A group of 25 Democratic-ruled states has moved a US court against President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on 60 economies, including India, accounting for 99.4 per cent of American imports.
The 25 states moved the US Court of International Trade on Monday against the Trump administration for again implementing tariffs on several countries, contending that it will raise costs for consumers and businesses nationwide.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, Governor Kathy Hochul and the coalition of the Democratic states are asking the Court of International Trade to declare these tariffs illegal.
The lawsuit details how the tariffs are arbitrarily imposed, with little connection to the administration’s stated goal of combatting forced labour.
The administration’s report on its investigation identified just three products made with forced labour to justify tariffs on dozens of countries.
