Media: California Court Rejects Governor's Bid to Block Trump's Tariff Policy
According to court rulings cited by the U.S. political news website Politico, the California court has rejected an attempt by California Governor Newsom to block U.S. President Trump's imposition of tariffs.
Bloomberg previously reported that Newsom stated that due to the damage caused to California consumers and businesses, the state would seek to cancel the tariffs on imported goods from Mexico, China, and Canada through the courts.
On June 2, the U.S. district court judge dismissed the lawsuit. The message showed that the court ruled that this case should be heard by the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Politico pointed out that the judge only dismissed the lawsuit without transferring it to the U.S. Court of International Trade, thus allowing California to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
It was reported that the plaintiff has filed an appeal.
On April 2, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order imposing "reciprocal tariffs" on imports from other countries. The minimum base tax rate is 10%, while higher tariff rates are imposed on goods from 57 countries starting April 9. The U.S. side explained that this is calculated based on the trade deficit between the U.S. and specific countries, with the aim of replacing deficits with balance. However, on April 9, Trump said that more than 75 countries have not taken countermeasures and requested negotiations, so within 90 days, except for China, a 10% baseline import tariff will apply to all countries.
On May 28, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled to prohibit the implementation of the executive order by the Trump administration to impose additional tariffs on multiple countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
