Jaša Jenull is facing a private lawsuit from Rok Snežić, who is suing him for grievance.

On August 4, 2026, twenty-five U.S. states filed a lawsuit against the federal government over new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The states argue that the tariffs constitute an attempt to circumvent a ruling by the Supreme Court earlier this year that invalidated certain retaliatory tariffs. The legal action was announced in Washington, with reports citing the American television network ABC. The newly introduced tariffs were implemented under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which grants the president authority to impose duties and other trade measures against countries engaging in “unfair” trade practices. According to the lawsuit, these tariffs aim to increase the cost of imported goods, particularly from countries such as members of the European Union, which account for nearly all U.S. imports. Tariffs range from 10% to 12.5%, affecting products sourced from approximately 60 nations. Among the states joining the lawsuit are New York, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. These states claim that the tariffs unfairly burden American consumers rather than foreign governments, as the increased costs ultimately fall on domestic shoppers. Legal experts have noted that the states' argument aligns with previous challenges brought by small businesses. In July, several small firms had already filed lawsuits contesting the legality of the tariffs under Section 301. Those cases similarly argued that the administration failed to adequately justify its claims against specific countries and did not clarify how the tariffs would address alleged unfair trade practices. In response to the allegations, President Trump has defended the tariffs, asserting they will stimulate the U.S. manufacturing sector by making imported goods more expensive. He has previously used Section 301 to impose high tariffs on Chinese imports during his first term. Trump maintains that foreign governments, not American consumers, bear the brunt of the additional costs. The lawsuit contends that the federal government’s actions violate established legal procedures and undermine economic stability. It highlights concerns over transparency and the lack of clear justification for targeting specific countries. The states emphasize that the tariffs create uncertainty for both businesses and consumers, potentially harming local economies. As the legal battle unfolds, it remains unclear whether the courts will rule in favor of the states or uphold the administration's position. The outcome could set a precedent for future trade disputes and influence how the executive branch exercises its powers under international trade law. For now, the focus remains on the legal arguments presented by both sides, with further developments anticipated in the coming weeks.
