California's action on tariffs
Beyond assuring international partners of their value to California's economy, Governor Newsom has announced first-in-the-nation actions to block President Trump's chaotic tariff policies.
This week, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to immediately stop President Trump's unlawful tariffs. This follows the Governor's lawsuit announced in April against President Trump's tariffs, citing the president's lack of authority to unilaterally impose tariffs through the International Economic Emergency Powers Act and noting their harmful effects on Americans and the economy. Following California's lawsuit, 12 states have also announced similar legal action.
