US states mount court challenge to Trump's tariffs

  • Twelve U.S. states filed a lawsuit in April 2025 to block President Donald Trump's tariffs imposed via a national emergency declaration.
  • The states contend that President Trump unlawfully bypassed Congress by using a national emergency statute to impose tariffs, arguing this exceeds his authorized powers.
  • The tariffs impose up to 30% on Chinese goods and 10% on others, raising costs for families and disrupting trade-dependent businesses, especially in Washington state.
  • Washington Governor Bob Ferguson called the tariffs "illegal tariffs" harming workers and estimated the tariffs could cost the state between $18 billion and $21 billion in business losses.
  • The court will soon hear the challenge as the Justice Department defends the tariffs as necessary to address unfair trade practices.
