Why 25 states sued the Trump administration over 'forced labour' tariffs | Global News Podcast

A group of 25 Democrat-led US states are suing President Donald Trump's administration in an effort to block his latest round of trade tariffs. The White House says the levies - which target 59 countries and the European Union - were imposed on nations that had not done enough to crack down on imports produced by forced labour. Among the countries affected are the UK, China, India, Canada and Mexico. The states' lawsuit claims that President Trump's tariffs are "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law", accusing the administration of using the forced labour issue as a "pretext" to replace the "Liberation Day" tariffs, which the US Supreme Court struck down in February. White House spokesman Kush Desai has said that the government is "using its lawful authority to obtain the elimination of unreasonable acts, policies, and practices that burden U.S. commerce". We speak to our North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher. New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
