25 US states sue Trump over fresh tariffs on 60 trading partners

India is currently subject to a 10 per cent tariff under the Section 301 measures, while the outcome of another investigation that could lead to additional tariffs is still pending.

Last month, the US imposed a fresh round of tariffs ranging between 10 per cent and 12.5 per cent on these 60 countries, citing failure on the issue of forced labour, to replace the 10 per cent global levies that expired on July 24.

The 25 states moved the US Court of International Trade on Monday against the Trump administration for again implementing tariffs on several countries, contending that it will raise costs for consumers and businesses nationwide.
