New York, joined by a coalition of 11 states, is suing the Trump administration for unlawfully applying tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The tariffs, which significantly affect imports from numerous countries, are claimed to have resulted in economic damage through increased costs for essential goods such as agriculture, energy, and construction materials. The coalition alleges these actions overstep presidential authority and contravene legal statutes, demanding a court order to cease enforcing these tariffs, which threaten to undermine economic stability, foster unemployment, and potentially trigger a recession.
The Trump administration's IEEPA tariffs raise taxes on imports from almost every nation, leading to increased costs of goods, economic slowdowns, and heightened unemployment.
The coalition argues that the Trump administration overstepped its authority, violating constitutional laws and the Administrative Procedure Act by unilaterally imposing tariffs.
The lawsuit aims to halt the IEEPA tariffs and to ensure that the administration does not enforce these unwarranted economic measures.
Coalition states claim that the tariffs threaten economic stability, risking a recession while violating the law by not obtaining Congressional approval.
