The California attorney general's office is seeking a preliminary injunction against President Trump's recent tariff policy, which imposes significant import duties on numerous trading partners. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, contends that Trump lacks the legal authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act for these tariffs, which have already caused substantial disruption in U.S. markets. A decision could be reached as early as mid-June, with officials highlighting the economic uncertainty this has created for businesses in California.
"Uncertainty and unpredictability are bad for business, bad for the economy, and bad for California," Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said, emphasizing the need for stability in trade policies.
