#TariffsPause

Twelve states filed a lawsuit against U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration on Wednesday, April 23, seeking a court order declaring that the new tariffs imposed by the president are illegal.

New York Attorney General Letitia James stated in a press release regarding the lawsuit: "The president does not have the authority to impose taxes on a whim, but that is exactly what President Trump is doing with these tariffs."

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. International Trade Court in Washington, D.C.
