Sacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s action to impose tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China: “Tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking American families — driving up the cost of groceries, cars, and essential goods.” Governor Gavin Newsom
California is the fifth-largest economy in the world and is the country’s largest importer and second-largest exporter. The state relies heavily on trade with Mexico, Canada, and China, particularly for manufactured goods and agricultural products that employ Californians across the state. Over 40% of California imports come from Mexico, Canada, and China. Imports from these countries were $203.3 billion of the total $491.5 billion California imported in 2024.
Retaliatory tariffs will impact California businesses and exporters. Mexico, Canada, and China are California’s top 3 export destinations. Tariffs also hurt builders. The tariffs will affect access to important construction materials critical to rebuilding after the Los Angeles fires.

Can’t stand newscum, but he’s right on this point
Governor Newsom is talking about how taxes are hurting Americans after 4 years of Biden and Hariis as the CA Hamacrats keep us paying some of the highest taxes in the Nation. Man, talk about hypocrisy!!!
He’s concerned with his businesses not our families. The economy in Ca is horrible. Homelessness out of control. No accountability for money that is unaccounted for.
Of course they are, Newsome is correct. And the “imposter” living in the D.C. house loves to see people hurting and in stress, and tariff’s are the perfect thing to see mass amounts of people hurting. Sadistic and unnecessary indeed.
So why do we have to pay to ship to China and China doesn’t have to pay shipping to us? Is this Fair? If we use American goods and workers we do not pay a tariff and support Americans. Then we pay no tariffs. We are better off if we support our own Country. Newsom shows you only one side of argument. Another Liberal Dem taking shots at Trump to get in good for that run to become President. The dems always look at the Negative.
I buy American whenever I can. Unfortunately there are few items that don’t involve parts from China, Mexico, or Canada. This will cost normal people extra money.
OMG, businesses such as In n’ Out are leaving the state!!!! I just wish about half the people in the state would leave. As in the MAGATS.
That’s not the whole story. Snipits out of context are misleading. They are moving their headquarters to Tennessee and building a new headquarters in Irvine, CA near the original In-n-Out. They are reorganizing, consolidating, and expending in Tennessee.
LMAO, you’re not very good in math, are you Karen?
Anyway if most Republicans left, CA would be broke, hamacrats don’t pay taxes, they just leech off the system. That’s why CA is the worst financially run state in the Nation. CA also has the worst quality of life in the Nation, because we have the most democrats and convicted felons in the nation roaming the streets preying on women, children and the elderly.
Republicans don’t care about convicted felons, they voted for one.
Bottom line, the tariffs hurt California the most and ruining California is Trump’s goal!
Calif. was already ruined before Trump, thank you gavin.
Ok, but trump is making it worse all on his own.
^^Then leave^^
How’s that?
Meanwhile, newscum jacked up the gas tax by 65 cents a gallon this year 2025 LMAO CLOWN
Google: newsom gas tax 65 cents.
Don’t forget the Newsom’s not so secret payday PG&E
Question: What is a democrat?
Answer : A democrat is just like a Venezuelan national that has just been arrested in connection to the murder of a high school student in Tukwila, Washington. Jose Antonio Cedeno-Ponce, 20, was taken into custody on February 24 in Utah after fleeing the state. Cedeno-Ponce allegedly stabbed a teen to death on January 10 during a fight with a group of high schoolers, according to an FBI press release.
Cedeno-Ponce has been charged in King County Superior Court with second-degree murder. He remains in custody at the Utah County Jail awaiting extradition back to Washington. The defendant was apprehended by the FBI Safe Streets Violent Crime Task Force in Orem, Utah.
According to court documents, Cedeno-Ponce “drove to a location in Tukwila to engage in a fight with high schoolers and armed himself with a knife before anyone approached him. During the fight, he fatally struck the victim. Cedeno-Ponce subsequently left the state and abandoned his vehicle in Idaho.”
Tukwila Police said in a news release that officers responded to reports of a fight at 14400 Tukwila International Boulevard on January 10 near Foster High School. Tukwila is a city located in the Seattle metro area. Upon arrival, officers located a victim suffering from a stab wound. Despite attempting life-saving measures, the victim, identified as 16-year-old Alan Jaller, was pronounced dead at the scene. Tukwila Police detectives established probable cause to list Cedeno-Ponce as the suspect.
The victim was a Colombian national who arrived in the state with his family two years ago. He lived in Seattle and attended Evergreen High School, according to a GoFundMe account set up for his family and funeral expenses. Jaller’s parents told Kiro 7 News that they knew Cedeno-Ponce before the alleged killing.
Victim of stabbing
Authorities listed Cedeno-Ponce as being a resident of Seattle. Documents posted to X revealed that the defendant has an active ICE detainer and is a citizen of Venezuela.ICE ERO Seattle has not yet confirmed Cedeno-Ponce’s immigration status.
