California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration over President Donald Trump’s tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The lawsuit argues that Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act. Newsom emphasized the impact of tariffs on California, the top manufacturing state in America, potentially leading to higher prices. The lawsuit seeks to declare the tariffs void and block their implementation. Bonta called the tariffs illegal and harmful to Californians, including farmers and small businesses. The lawsuit challenges Trump’s ability to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China and create an across-the-board 10% tariff. Trump has imposed tariffs on most foreign countries, claiming the U.S. is making billions of dollars from them. The White House has not yet responded to the lawsuit. Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, has been a frequent critic of Trump and is supported by Bonta in fighting for California’s economy and residents against the impact of the tariffs.
