| Good afternoon, Chicago. Illinois joined some two dozen states challenging President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs today, filing a lawsuit over import taxes he imposed after a stinging loss at the Supreme Court. The Democratic attorneys general leading the suit argue that Trump is overstepping his power with planned 15% tariffs on much of the world. Trump has said the tariffs are essential to reduce America’s long-standing trade deficits. He imposed duties under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs he imposed last year under an emergency powers law. Here’s what else is happening today.
