Twenty-five U.S. states, mostly led by Democratic governors, are suing the federal government over new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump. The states argue these tariffs are illegal and hurt American families and businesses by raising costs. This is the third legal challenge against such tariffs. The government, however, claims these tariffs are necessary to address issues like forced labor in supply chains. The courts will decide the legality of these trade measures.

This explanation is simplified to help readers understand the story. It is not factual reporting and should be checked against the original source articles before being cited or shared.
