A dozen states on April 23 filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade over its recently announced tariffs.

The lawsuit argued that the tariff policies put in place by President Donald Trump earlier in April were subject to his “whims rather than the sound exercise of lawful authority.”
