"Insane tariff scheme". 12 American states have filed a joint lawsuit against Trump's tariffs

Democratic attorneys general from 12 American states have filed a joint lawsuit challenging the legality of the tariff increases imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on several countries.

This was reported by NBC News. "By claiming his authority to impose huge and constantly changing tariffs on any goods imported into the U.S. that he chooses, for any reason he deems convenient to declare a state of emergency, the president has undermined constitutional order and brought chaos to the American economy," the statement reads.

The plaintiffs are seeking to halt the tariffs imposed by Trump. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit: "Trump's insane tariff scheme is not only economically reckless - it is illegal."

According to New York Attorney General Letitia James, the tariffs will lead to increased inflation, unemployment, and economic harm.
