US states sue Trump administration over offshore lease cancellation

- Seven U.S. states led by New York sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for cancelling a major offshore wind lease off the coast of New York.

The lawsuit in the Washington, D.C., federal court challenges a March 23 decision by the U.S. Department of the Interior to cancel a lease by a subsidiary of France's TotalEnergies TTEF.PA, "reimburse" $795 million to the company, and extract a pledge from the company not to develop new offshore wind projects in the United States.
