California Challenges Trump’s New Tariffs in International Trade Court

Governor Gavin Newsom led a legal challenge against President Trump’s new tariffs, arguing they lack authorization under the IEEPA. This case seeks to set precedent for executive power in trade policy and its impact on states. California contends its economy is disproportionately harmed by these tariffs, with significant consequences for agriculture and entertainment industries. 10% tariffs on all imports and 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada are at the center of this legal challenge.
