SACRAMENTO, California " California Gov. Gavin Newsom is suing Donald Trump over tariffs in an aggressive move to end the president's stranglehold on global commerce. Newsom's lawsuit, announced Wednesday morning with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, is the first challenge from a U.S. state against Trump's signature foreign policy cudgel.
California, the world's fifth largest economy, stands to lose billions to tariffs with major state industries from Silicon Valley to agriculture heavily dependent on global trade. "President Trump's unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy " driving up prices and threatening jobs," Newsom said in a statement. "We're standing up for American families who can't afford to let the chaos continue."
