Washington: A coalition of 25 Democratic-led US states has challenged President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on 60 economies, including India. 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 reprieve followed India amending its foreign trade policy on June 14 to ban imports of goods made with forced labour. 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.
