💨 Abstract

Twelve U.S. states have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's broad import tariffs, asserting that he overstepped his authority and created economic turmoil. The states challenge tariffs imposed on most countries to reduce U.S. trade deficits. They also question earlier levies on imports from Canada, China, and Mexico, aimed at addressing immigration and opioid issues. The case was heard by the U.S. Court of International Trade, with potential appeals to higher courts.
