25 US states fight against new taxes. These taxes are tariffs. President Donald Trump makes them. The tariffs apply to 60 trade partners. The European Union is also affected. The tariffs are up to 12.5 percent.
The US government names a reason for the tariffs. Other countries do too little against forced labor. The plaintiffs say: This is only an excuse. They think the tariffs are against the law. The president has no power for this. A court in New York checks the case now.
Before, the highest court stopped other tariffs. Trump had to pay back billions of dollars. The plaintiffs now fear higher prices for citizens. Goods like food can become more expensive. The government says: The tariffs protect the US economy.
