Newsoma to terminate the California lawsuit against Trump’s tariffs

California governor Gavin Newsom will probably announce a lawsuit on Wednesday that the executive authority of President Trump will contest to take international tariffs without the consent of the congress.

The position of governor said

“President Trump’s illegal tariffs lead California families, companies and our economy chaos. They increase prices and threaten jobs,” said Newsom in a statement. “We stand for American families who cannot afford to continue chaos.”

The case marks the first time that Newsom has taken on a leading role in one of the 15 complaints that California has submitted against the current Trump administration and signaled a potential deviation from his reserved approach to the President during the second term of Trump. Specify so far. General Rob Bonta acted as the face of California legal disputes against the federal government, while Newsom generally maintained a distance from the disputes of the back and forth court.

As part of the law on international emergency management powers, Trump implemented 10% basic tariffs on all imported goods, higher taxes on goods from Mexico, Canada and China as well as specific taxes for products and materials such as cars and aluminum. The president threatened and then held additional tariffs for other nations until this summer.

California, in which the governor’s office was traded almost $ 675 billion in two guidelines last year, will lose billions in government income as part of Trump’s collective bargaining policy if international trade and tanks are received by the stock market market. Mexico, Canada and China represent the three largest trading partners in the state.

“The chaotic and random implementation of the president of tariffs is not only deeply worrying, but also illegal,” said Bonta in an explanation. “The Californians have followed the effects of the effects of the selection of the president – from farmers in central to small companies in Sacramento and concerned families at the kitchen table.

Newsom’s office said the law admits the measures that the President can take if he declares a national emergency in response to foreign national security, foreign policy or economic threat.

No president before Trump used the law to put tariffs for imported products from a certain country or for products that were generally imported into the United States in general according to a description of the law on a congress website.

In the complaint, it is claimed that the law gives the congress the opportunity to force tariffs, and the US district court will ask for the northern district of California too invalid, according to Bontas office.

If California ultimately prevails, the congress in Washington could vote on Trump’s tariffs into the actual political position in the interim elections in a vulnerable political position. A recent survey by CBS News showed that 58% of Americans pronounced US tariffs for imported goods.

Bonta is expected to enter governor at a press conference in Central Valley on a press conference in Central Valley to discuss the lawsuit.
