  "summary": "A coalition of 25 Democratic-led states has initiated legal proceedings against President Donald Trump's new tariffs on 60 trading partners, alleging that the levies are unlawful and will burden consumers and businesses. The lawsuit, filed in the US Court of International Trade, seeks to halt tariffs on goods from 60 countries, including a 10% duty on imports from India. The states argue that the new tariffs, which replace the expired 10% global levies, contravene the law and the Constitution, as they lack a legitimate connection to the administration's stated objective of combating forced labour. New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are among those challenging the tariffs, emphasizing that the American people cannot bear the additional costs resulting from the president's unlawful economic policy.",
