California is suing to block President Trump’s tariffs, which it says are illegal and “economically destructive.” This is California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Attorney General Rob Bonta: “Trump has had to resort to creating bogus national emergencies that defy reason. He’s even claimed there’s an influx of illegal immigration and illicit drugs crossing over the Canadian border as the basis for imposing across-the-board tariffs on Canada. It is completely untrue.”

In other trade news, President Trump claimed “big progress” was made in tariff negotiations with Japan, after Trump unexpectedly joined the preliminary talks Wednesday. Meanwhile, Italy’s far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is at the White House today, where she’s expected to defend European trade interests as she meets with Trump.
