On April 16, 2025, the state government of California in the United States initiated legal action against the tariff policy of the Trump administration, alleging that it violated the law by enforcing the "reciprocal tariffs" policy under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. This policy, California contends, adversely impacted the interests of the state, consumers, and businesses alike. Notably, California emerged as the first state to take such legal steps against the Trump administration. Subsequently, on June 2, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that an appeal had been lodged against the federal court's decision in this matter. The state government maintains that the Trump administration lacked the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs, a measure that has inflicted substantial economic damages on California.
