A coalition of 12 American states filed a lawsuit on
Wednesday (23 April ’25) challenging the Trump administration’s tariffs, arguing
that the president cannot impose such levies without Congress’s approval. "President Trump's insane tariff
scheme is not only economically reckless -- it is illegal," Arizona
Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement. The lawsuit includes Arizona
and Democratic-led states such as Minnesota, New York, and Oregon. A separate
but similar lawsuit was filed by California a week ago.
President Donald Trump, in his second
term, has disrupted long-standing free trade policy with his “Liberation Day”
announcements, introducing new tariffs against multiple countries.
He has imposed an additional 145 percent import duty on
China, prompting Beijing to retaliate with its own 125 percent tariffs on US
goods. On Wednesday, Trump told reporters he was working on a "fair deal
with China."
He has also levied 10 percent tariffs on other trade
partners and issued threats of further tariffs.
In Wednesday’s filing, the states argue that the 1977 law cited by Trump does
not authorise him to use emergency powers to impose tariffs — a power
constitutionally reserved for Congress. "By
claiming the authority to impose immense and ever-changing tariffs on whatever
goods entering the United .emergency, the President has upended the
constitutional order and brought chaos to the American economy," the
lawsuit states.
Trump maintains that his protectionist policy will help
restore manufacturing jobs in the United StatesArizona’s
Attorney General Mayes added, "No matter what the White House claims,
tariffs are a tax that will be passed on to Arizona consumers."
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported on Wednesday that
Trump’s approval rating has steadily declined over the first three months of
his term, dropping to 44 percent this week.
Last week, California
Governor Gavin Newsom described Trump’s tariff policy as "the worst
own-goal in the history of this country."
