(ST. PAUL, MINN) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has joined a lawsuit blocking the Trump Administration’s tariffs.
“Donald Trump’s tariffs are unlawful and will cause severe harm to families across Minnesota, so I’m filing a lawsuit to block them,” said Attorney General Ellison. “Trump and his billionaire friends can afford the price hike caused by the Trump tariffs, but there are plenty of working-class Minnesotans who can’t. I will not sit back and allow this president to break the law and take a sledgehammer to the global economy.”
The suit calls the tariffs illegal, saying that only Congress can authorize the tariffs.
The lawsuit is led by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes. Joining Attorney General Ellison in signing onto the lawsuit are the attorneys general of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Vermont.
