Twelve States Sue Trump Administration in U.S. Court to Halt Tariffs Impacting Toy Industry

Attorneys general from Nevada, New York, California, and nine other states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade to halt its tariff policy. The coalition argues that the tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, are unlawful and have caused economic disruption. The lawsuit highlights the adverse impact of the tariffs on various industries, including the toy sector, where companies like Learning Resources, a family-owned business, have described the tariffs as catastrophic for their operations and the broader U.S. economy. Legal challenges to the tariffs have increased, with courts blocking emergency orders related to the policy. The tariffs have also affected products such as baby strollers, which face no alternatives to China tariffs, further complicating supply chains and costs for U.S. businesses.
