Connecticut and New York are once again part of a coalition of states suing the Trump administration over tariffs. President Donald Trump (R) has used three different laws to implement the tariffs each time, so each lawsuit is different. The states won the first two legal challenges. We’ve won twice, we’ll win again, and we’ll continue to protect Connecticut families,” Connecticut Attorney General William Tong (D) said. This time, Trump claims a section of the Trade Act of 1974 gives him authority to impose 10-12% tariffs on more than 80 countries.
