California Appeals Latest Ruling in Lawsuit Against Trump Administration's Tariff Policy

California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a statement saying that an appeal has been filed regarding the latest ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in the case against the Trump administration's tariff policy. Previously, on April 16, California filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in the name of the state government and Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing the federal government of unlawfully implementing the so-called "reciprocal tariffs" policy under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, claiming that this move harms the broad interests of states, consumers, and businesses. California was also the first state to sue the Trump administration over tariff issues. On the 2nd, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed the state's lawsuit. Bonta immediately issued a statement saying that the California government plans to promptly appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, based in San Francisco. The California government's move aims to determine the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California over this lawsuit through the appellate court's ruling. (Jin10)
