Twelve states are taking legal action against President Trump over his tariffs, claiming they are unlawful and damaging to the United States economy. The states, led by California and New York, filed a lawsuit in federal court, arguing that the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are unconstitutional and are causing significant harm to their states' economies.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump's tariffs violate the Constitution's commerce clause, which gives Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce. The states argue that the tariffs are disrupting businesses, increasing costs for consumers, and harming the overall economic wellbeing of their states.

President Trump has defended his tariffs as necessary to protect American industries and jobs, but critics argue that they are counterproductive and harming the U.S. economy. The outcome of the lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the Trump administration's trade policies and could set a precedent for future challenges to presidential trade actions.

The states suing Trump are seeking an injunction to stop the tariffs and a ruling declaring them unconstitutional. The outcome of the case will be closely watched by lawmakers, businesses, and consumers across the country.
