California Governor Explains Why Suing the US Government: Most Harmed by Tariff Policy

Last month, California Governor Newsom announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration over tariff issues. On the 5th, in an interview with Canadian television, Newsom further explained why he is suing the Trump administration. Newsom stated that as the strongest economic state in the U.S., California is also the most harmed by tariff policies. Newsom noted that California is the largest state in the U.S., with a population equal to the total of 21 states. California is the fourth largest economy in the world and is also the largest manufacturing and agricultural state in the U.S. Of all goods imported into the U.S., 40% enter through California's ports. According to data released yesterday (the 4th), the volume of goods has already decreased by 35%. Additionally, the number of tourists has declined for two consecutive months.
