California (Thechieftainspear) – California Governor Gavin Newsom strongly criticized the Trump Administration’s new tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, arguing that they will burden American consumers and businesses.
“These tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking American families,” Newsom stated, warning that the move could have significant economic consequences for California.
As a major hub for global trade, California depends heavily on imports and exports, particularly in manufacturing and agriculture. In 2024, the state imported over $203 billion worth of goods from these three countries, accounting for more than 40% of its total imports.

The newly imposed tariffs are expected to hit California businesses hard, particularly exporters and industries reliant on imported materials—such as construction and manufacturing—potentially slowing recovery efforts in cities like Los Angeles.
Newsom has urged federal leaders to reconsider the decision, emphasizing that trade restrictions could undermine economic growth and job stability in the state .
