A coalition of 24 states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that newly imposed 10% to 15% global tariffs exceed executive authority. The legal challenge centers on the unprecedented use of Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated previous emergency tariff measures.
Following a landmark 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that curtailed executive authority under the IEEPA, President Trump has invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose a new 10% global tariff. The move attempts to bypass constitutional restrictions on the executive's power to levy duties while maintaining a protectionist stance toward trade partners like India.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the executive branch exceeded its authority by using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad tariffs. In a swift response, Vice President JD Vance condemned the decision while President Trump invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to implement a new 10% global tariff.
