Two dozen states sued the Trump administration on Thursday, alleging that President Trump exceeded his authority in imposing new global tariffs after the Supreme Court in February\u00a0struck down<\/span>\u00a0emergency import duties he introduced last year.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit centers on\u00a010% tariffs\u00a0<\/span>the Trump administration recently implemented under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Mr. Trump later said he would raise the tariffs to 15%. The states argue that the tariffs violate the Constitution’s separation of powers principle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a 6-3 decision last month, the Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump\u00a0did not have the right<\/span> to impose tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).<\/p>\n

“As with his unlawful use of IEEPA, the president has once again exercised tariff authority that he does not have \u2014 involving a statute that does not authorize the tariffs he has imposed \u2014 to upend the constitutional order and bring chaos to the global economy,” the states said in the suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
