The Trump administration is requesting a transfer of California Governor Gavin Newsom's lawsuit over tariff policies from San Francisco to the US Court of International Trade in New York, which has jurisdiction over such matters. Newsom's lawsuit, filed with state Attorney General Rob Bonta, claims the president overstepped his authority by imposing tariffs using emergency powers without congressional input. This legal challenge highlights concerns regarding the impact of tariffs on California's economy, with both officials urging Congress to assert its constitutional powers concerning tariffs.
"Congress has the power to impose tariffs, not the president," Bonta told the Washington Post, asserting that Trump exceeded his constitutional authority with tariff imposition.
"No state is poised to lose more than the state of California," Newsom argued, emphasizing the potential economic downturn as a direct consequence of Trump's tariffs.
