California Appeals Court Ruling on Trump Administration's Tariff Policy Unlawful

BlockBeats News, June 5th. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced on June 2nd local time that he has filed an appeal regarding the latest ruling by the Northern District of California Federal Court on California's lawsuit against the Trump administration's tariff policy.

Previously, California, on behalf of the state government and Governor Gavin Newsom, filed a lawsuit on April 16th in the Northern District of California Federal Court, accusing the federal government of illegally implementing a so-called "tariffs in retaliation" policy under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and claiming that this action harmed the interests of states, consumers, and businesses. California was also the first state to sue the Trump administration over tariffs.

The Northern District of California Federal Court rejected California's government's lawsuit on the 2nd. Becerra then issued a statement saying that the California government plans to immediately appeal to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The California government's move is intended to use the appeals court's ruling to establish the Northern District of California Federal Court's jurisdiction over this lawsuit. (Kryptonian)
