Gavin Newsom is taking Trump to court over the tariffs war. California’s governor says Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose such a huge tax hike and California stands to lose more than any other state. In related news, a group of US businesses filed a lawsuit arguing that Trump’s tariffs are harming them and are illegal under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
