*President Trump’s constitutional authority is about to face another serious challenge thanks to the governor of the most populous state in the union.*
As KTLA *reported* <ktla.com/news/ap-us-news/ap-california-will-sue-to-stop-trump-from-imposing-sweeping-tariffs/>, California Governor and likely 2028 Presidential candidate Gavin Newsom announced this morning he will be suing Trump, claiming that the president’s tariffs are “wrecking chaos” across the Golden State. This marks the first time a state has taken legal action against Trump over tariffs.
The suit filed by Newsom will argue that Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China or a 10% tariff on all imports violates the U.S. Constitution. The act, which was signed in law by then-President Jimmy Carter in *1977* <www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/us/politics/trump-tariffs-ieepa.html>, enables a president to freeze and block transactions in response to foreign threats.
“President Trump’s unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy — driving up prices and threatening jobs,” Newsom *fumed* <nypost.com/2025/04/16/us-news/california-will-sue-to-stop-trump-from-imposing-sweeping-tariffs/> in a statement. “We’re standing up for American families who can’t afford to let the chaos continue.”
Newsom went on to *argue* <nypost.com/2025/04/16/us-news/california-will-sue-to-stop-trump-from-imposing-sweeping-tariffs/> that California could lose billions of dollars due to Trump’s tariffs.
KTLA *reports* <ktla.com/news/ap-us-news/ap-california-will-sue-to-stop-trump-from-imposing-sweeping-tariffs/> that the suit will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, a Democrat-friendly venue. The state of California is expected to request the court to immediately block the tariffs.
As KTLA *notes* <ktla.com/news/ap-us-news/ap-california-will-sue-to-stop-trump-from-imposing-sweeping-tariffs/>, Newsom’s move comes after he has begged countries to grant California counties a special exemption from tariffs.
The Gateway Pundit previously *reported* <www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/trump-unleashes-10-baseline-tariff-all-u-s/> that Trump announced on April 2 the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025. The worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures on April 9.
Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence.
He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.
The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald then *revealed* <www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/breaking-trump-announces-immediate-tariff-increase-china-125/> that Trump last week announced an immediate tariff increase on China to 125%. He also granted a 90-day pause and tariff reduction to 10% for over 75 other countries.
Trump announced the tariff change on Truth Social, writing that it was due to China’s “lack of respect for the World’s Markets.”
