California Governor Gavin Newsom is advocating for international trade deals that would exempt California products from retaliatory tariffs following President Trump's recent tariff announcements. As the world's fifth-largest economy and the nation's largest agricultural producer, Newsom emphasizes California's role as a reliable trading partner. He aims to shield goods from California, valued at $23.6 billion in agricultural exports, amidst fears that tariffs could hinder critical rebuilding efforts in areas affected by recent wildfires. This initiative reflects significant concerns about the impact of tariffs on local economies and voters who supported Trump.
Donald Trump's tariffs do not represent all Americans, particularly those I represent here in the fifth largest economy in the world, the state of California.
California is a stable trading partner and we hope you remember that as you consider California-made products.
The trade war that Donald Trump has launched is going to be felt in pretty profound ways to real people, including those who voted for Donald Trump.
The Newsom administration fears that retaliatory tariffs from countries that provide construction supplies could hamper rebuilding in Los Angeles after devastating wildfires.
