A coalition of 25 Democratic-led US states has sued to block President Donald Trump's new tariffs on imports from 60 trading partners, including India, arguing the administration exceeded its legal authority. Filed in the US Court of International Trade in New York, the lawsuit challenges 10% to 12.5% duties imposed last month under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The White House says the tariffs target countries that have failed to curb exports of goods made with forced labour. The case marks the latest legal challenge to Trump's trade strategy, which has faced repeated court scrutiny despite surviving earlier judicial setbacks over similar tariff measures.
