Roughly two dozen Democratic-controlled states sued President Trump on Monday over his new global tariffs, calling them “equally unlawful” to the ones the Supreme Court has invalidated.

The lawsuit adds to legal challenges launched by small businesses in response to the latest round of tariffs in recent days.

The new tariffs, announced last month, add a surcharge of between 10 percent and 12.5 percent on imported goods from 60 trading partners.
