California Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Wednesday that his state will sue United States President Donald Trump over tariffs imposed on imports. California will argue that Trump needed approval from Congress to put the measures in place and ask the court to block them.
"President Trump’s unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy - driving up prices and threatening jobs. We’re standing up for American families who can’t afford to let the chaos continue," Newsom said in a statement.
