Summary
Chief Gevin Newo and Prosecutor General Rob Bont have announced the lawsuit on Wednesday, saying that tariffs are injuring “countries, consumers and companies.”
With the state budget hanging uncertain in balanceGavard Gavin Newo has announced today that California will judge to block President Donald Trump’s tariff forces.
The trial that Newsom and Prosecutor General Rob Bont plan to submit to the federal court this morning claim that Trump does not have the constitutional body to unilaterally introduce tariffs. Trump quotes the United States’ large commercial deficit to declare a national emergency situation earlier this month and impose extensive rates From the rest of the world.
“President Trump’s illegal tariffs are chaos for families, business and our economy in California – they stimulate prices and threatening jobs,” Newsom said in a statement. “We stand for American families who cannot afford to let the chaos continue.”
In a A matter of days in early AprilTrump referred to the International Emergency Economic Forces Act of 1977 to establish a universal rate for 10% for all countries, importing goods to the United States, with even higher reciprocal tariffs for some countries, and then turned the course hours after China’s entry into force.
The chaos charges the stock market, a huge risk to California’s forthcoming budget, which depends disproportionately on income tax revenue from capital profits earned by the largest taxpayers. The state is also especially vulnerable from another economic pain Of the tariffs, as China is the largest trading partner in California to support production, agriculture, tourism and major ports in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oklland.
Other major potential effects on California include Increase the price of building materials Just as Los Angeles began to recover from a series of devastating fires, which in January leveled several neighborhoods.
In his court case, which will be brought to the US District Court in San Francisco, Newsom and Bonta will ask a judge to immediately stop Trump’s tariffs.
The state claims that the International Economic Force Law on Emergency Situations defines many medicines that the president can take in response to an external economic threat, but the tariffs are not among them. Without this specific permission from the Congress, the case will claim that Trump’s actions are “illegal and unprecedented.”
“The chaotic and accidental implementation of the president’s tariffs is not only deeply alarming, but illegal,” Bont says in a statement. “As the fifth largest economy in the world, California realizes that global trade policy is not just a game.”
The trial continues the transition of Newsom to a more aggressive confrontation position against the Trump administration. After wild fires in Los Angeles, the governor strives Reset his relationship with Trump as he lobbies for federal disaster help.
But although Congress has not yet approved more help for Los Angeles, Newsom has begun to oppose the President’s economic policies more vocally in recent weeks. As a result of Trump’s rates this month, Newsom said California would do so pursue their own “strategic partnerships” on international trade.
