#CongressTradingBan  On Wednesday, California filed a lawsuit seeking to block U.S. President Donald Trump's massive tariffs on imports from foreign trading partners, accusing him of abusing his authority and causing financial damage to the state and the country.

Trump imposed 10% tariffs on goods from all countries and higher duties on countries that the administration says have high barriers to U.S. imports, most of which he later suspended for 90 days. He also imposed a 145% tariff on China, excluding certain types of electronics.

In a lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Francisco federal Court, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta, both Democrats, argue that the 1977 law does not give the president the authority to impose large-scale tariffs without congressional consent by unreasonably declaring a state of emergency.

Newsom and Bonta argue that California, which in itself would be the fifth largest economy in the world and whose main trading partners are China, Mexico and Canada, has already suffered damage and could suffer even more if tariffs persist.

They are asking the court to prohibit the Ministry of Internal Security and the Customs and Border Guard Service from imposing duties. Who's next, who's not ready to take losses. And the White House is profiting from this. With their top billionaires.
