Governor Gavin Newsom is advocating for California-made products to be exempted from retaliatory tariffs imposed under Donald Trump's tariff plan. He plans to engage in discussions with global allies to reinforce California's role as a stable trading partner, especially with the state's significant economic contribution as the fifth-largest economy globally. With potential retaliatory tariffs from major trading partners like China and Canada looming, California’s agriculture and manufacturing sectors, crucial to its economy, are at higher risk. Newsom's actions aim to mitigate the fallout from these trade disputes.
