California Governor Gavin Newsom said Friday that he will seek agreements with the rest of the world to avoid the expected retaliations against US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
“California is not Washington, DC,” Newsom said in a video posted to social media.
“Donald Trump’s tariffs do not represent all Americans, particularly those that I represent here in the fifth-largest economy in the world, the state of California.”
The majority of goods that enter the United States from China pass through Californian ports, and the state has considerable trade with Mexico and Canada.
