A group of small businesses sued the Trump administration hours after the new levies took effect. Now, states that together represent half the nation’s territory are challenging the new tariffs in court. “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,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said, according to Bloomberg. After losing at the Supreme Court, Trump approved a universal 10% tariff, but it was only effective for 150 days and required congressional approval to be extended. Unable to secure Capitol Hill’s backing, the Trump administration devised another route before the temporary tariff expired.
