California Sues Trump Over “Illegal Tariffs,” First State to Challenge Trade Policy

California Governor Gavin Newsom sued the Trump administration on April 16, alleging illegal abuse of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act that disrupted supply chains, spiked consumer costs, and caused billions in economic losses. The lawsuit, filed in Northern District Court, seeks to invalidate tariffs on Mexico, China, and Canada. California, the U.S.’s top economy, relies on trade with these nations for over one-third of its $183B annual exports.
