Kathy Hochul, Letitia James join lawsuit against Trump over tariffs in latest clash with prez
Briefly

New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James are joining a coalition of states in a lawsuit against President Trump's tariffs on imports. Hochul characterized the tariffs as a tax hike that contributes to economic chaos nationwide. They argue that Trump's tariffs have driven up consumer costs and violated the president's authority to impose such taxes. The recent introduction of a 10% baseline tariff on most imports remains while additional tariffs are paused for negotiations. This ongoing legal battle highlights the deepening conflict over trade policies.
President Trump's reckless tariffs have skyrocketed costs for consumers and unleashed economic chaos across the country. New York is standing up to fight back against the largest federal tax hike in American history.
The president does not have the power to raise taxes on a whim, but that's exactly what President Trump has been doing with these tariffs.
Donald Trump promised that he would lower prices and ease the cost of living, but these illegal tariffs will have the exact opposite effect on American families.
