It says the new tariff is a misapplication of a 1974 trade law.

It also says the tariffs violate the Constitution in the same way that Trump's earlier tariffs did, because the lawsuit says Congress is responsible for imposing tariffs.

The White House says the administration will defend the new tariffs in court.
