The lawsuit challenges the legality of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

TWELVE US states have filed a lawsuit demand­ing that tariffs imposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump be lifted, the press service of New York Governor Kathy Hochul said.

A coalition of 12 US states, led by New York, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the legality of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

The coalition seeks a court order halting these IEEPA tariffs, including the worldwide tariffs that were paused on 9 April, and preventing the Trump adminis­tration from enforcing or implementing them,” the press service said in a statement on Wednesday.

The lawsuit was filed in the US Court of International  Trade, the statement read. In addition to New York, Ari­zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont have joined it, the statement added.— SPUTNIK
