NY Attorney General Says Trump Tariffs 'Impermissibly Broad', Bypass Legal Probe Requirements
New York's Attorney General argues that the latest tariffs are overly broad and circumvent country-specific investigations mandated by law, effectively replacing duties previously blocked by the Supreme Court.
The New York Attorney General has criticized the latest round of tariffs imposed by former President Trump, labeling them as “impermissibly broad.” The statement asserts that the measures bypass the statutory requirement for country-specific investigations.
According to the AG, the new duties simply replace earlier tariffs that were struck down by the Supreme Court. This suggests the administration is attempting to achieve the same trade policy goals through a different legal mechanism, despite prior judicial intervention.
The criticism highlights ongoing legal and constitutional tensions surrounding executive tariff authority. The scope and procedural basis of the tariffs are likely to face renewed scrutiny in courts.
