Attorney General William Tong joined his counterparts in more than a dozen states Monday in filing a lawsuit seeking to block President Donald Trump’s effort to halt the development of wind energy, including projects off the coast of New York and New England.

The lawsuit, which was brought in federal court in Massachusetts, challenged an executive action taken by Trump on his first day in office directing federal officials to stop the leasing of new offshore areas for wind projects, and to cease issuing permits or approvals for turbines either on land or offshore.
