Trump administration seeks to move California governor's tariff case to New York, arguing Court of International Trade has exclusive jurisdiction
Trump administration is seeking to transfer California Governor Newsom's legal challenge to the US tariff plan from the San Francisco federal court to the New York International Trade Court. Lawyers from the US Department of Justice filed a request on Thursday to move the case out of Newsom's territory, arguing that the trade court has "exclusive jurisdiction" over disputes related to tariffs. The Democratic governor of the most populous state is seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2028. On Wednesday, Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the president together. They are trying to stop Trump from imposing broad tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and other countries using emergency powers.
Newsom and Bonta cited the harm to California consumers and businesses, including agriculture and the entertainment industry. In terms of economic output, California can be considered the "fifth largest economy in the world." Trump's tariffs are facing at least three other legal challenges, two of which were brought by conservative legal advocacy groups representing small businesses, and the third was brought by members of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana.
