California wants to appeal after judge dismisses lawsuit against Trump's tariffs | California

A U.S. judge dismissed California’s challenge to Donald Trump’s tariffs, allowing the state to appeal the court’s ruling that the dispute should have been filed in the U.S. Specialized Trade Court in New York.

The ruling, published late Monday by San Francisco's U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Corley, did not delve into the merits of California's lawsuit. Now, three separate U.S. appeals courts may consider both the legality of Trump's tariffs on U.S. trading partners, as well as a separate set of tariffs for imports from China, Mexico and Canada.

Since February, Trump has issued new tariffs, the stopping tariffs are in effect and raise and lower interest rates as he attempts to engage in new trade deals with other countries. Tariffsaw, a company that gradually cooperates with international suppliers.

While legal experts expect the U.S. Supreme Court will eventually decide the legality of tariffs, rulings from different intermediate courts may play further confusion.

A panel of three judges from the Manhattan-based U.S. Court of International Trade and Washington, D.C., has announced that Trump has no unilateral powers and imposes tariffs without Congress’ investment. The Trump administration appealed the two rulings in cases filed in 12 U.S. states and several small businesses.

Kohli's ruling is more restrictive than any of these decisions and does not address the legality of Trump's tariffs.

Instead, Coley ruled that California should sue in the International Trade Court, which has exclusive jurisdiction over U.S. tariff disputes.

California, which opposes the transfer, asks a judge to dismiss its case rather than transferring it, which will allow it to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The U.S. Court of Appeals temporarily suspended the Trade Court's ruling on the Federal Circuit Washington, which allowed tariffs to remain temporarily where it believed whether to impose a long-term residence, and an appeal to the ruling would also arise.

California believes that any federal court can hear the case because it would object to Trump's constitutional use of tariff powers reserved for Congress unless granted to the president.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the law Trump cited was to justify tariffs, and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize tariffs at all, so it could not force California to file a lawsuit in the trade court.

"Our argument is simple. Trump has no right to impose these destructive tariffs," Bonta said in a statement.

The lawsuit challenges Trump's so-called "liberation day" tariffs on imports by most U.S. trading partners, as well as separate tariffs imposed in China, Mexico and Canada.

The latter is related to his allegations that the three countries promote fentanyl inflows into the United States, which these countries deny.
