#Trump’s15%GlobalTariffsSettoTakeEffect The tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration at ABD’s ABD Customs have once again been brought to court. 24 states filed a lawsuit against the federal government, claiming that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority by implementing new global tariffs despite the Supreme Court’s decision in February.

In the lawsuit filed on Thursday, a total of 24 states argued that the 10% import tariffs implemented under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 are unlawful. President Trump had previously announced plans to raise these tariffs to 15%.

The states argued that the practice violates the principle of separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. The lawsuit states that the President cannot use tariff authority without explicit authorization from Congress.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision last month with a 6-3 vote, ruled that the emergency tariffs imposed by Trump last year cannot be applied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977. The Court stated that the President does not have the authority to impose tariffs under this law.

The President, as in his previous unlawful use of IEEPA, is now using a tariff authority he does not have, undermining the constitutional order and causing chaos in the global economy.

The Trump administration argues that the import tariffs are implemented to ensure fairness in global trade, increase investments in the U.S., and boost public revenues. According to official data, the U.S. generated a total of $287 billion from tariffs, duties, and other import revenues in 2025. This represents a 192% increase compared to the previous year.

In their lawsuit, the states request that the U.S. International Trade Court declare the tariffs applied under Section 122 illegal. They also seek reimbursement for the costs incurred during the period the tariffs were in effect.
