The facts
On August 3, 2026, 25 Democratic-led states sued the Trump administration over tariffs targeting goods from 60 trading partners.
The U.S. Constitution's Article I, Section 8 gives Congress — not the president — the power to lay and collect duties on imports.
Trump has invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a 1977 law never before used to impose broad tariffs.
The Court of International Trade ruled in May 2025 that Trump's IEEPA tariffs exceeded his statutory authority, though an appeals court paused the order.
U.S. tariff revenue surged past $150 billion in 2025, more than triple the 2023 total, according to Treasury data.
