Twenty-five States Sue Federal Government over Trump’s New Tariffs

On Aug. 3, 2026, 25 states sued the Trump administration over its latest tariffs, calling them a pretext for replacing import taxes the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) struck down in February.

The United States last month imposed double-digit tariffs on 59 countries and the European Union, charging that they had not done enough to crack down on imports produced by forced labor. The new tariffs took effect just as the clock ran out on temporary tariffs President Donald Trump had turned to after the SCOTUS defeat.

"After losing at the Supreme Court, the administration is once again trying to illegally raise taxes on families and businesses with a new round of tariffs," said New York Attorney General Letitia James.
