California versus Trump: Tariff War Heats Up
Arey yaar, suno! California ke Governor Gavin Newsom ne ekdum bindas hoke bola hai ki woh Trump ke tariffs ke khilaf court mein jaa rahe hain. Matlab, ekdum serious legal fight hone wali hai. Yeh case San Francisco federal court mein chalega, aur ismein Trump ke emergency powers ka use karke Mexico, China, aur Canada pe tariffs lagane ke decision ko challenge kiya jaayega.
Impact on California’s Economy
Newsom bhai ne kaha ki yeh tariffs California ke consumers aur businesses ke liye bahut mushkil paida kar rahe hain. Aur yeh baat sach bhi hai, kyuki California world ki fifth-largest economy hai. Unhone saaf shabdon mein bola, “President Trump ke tariffs California ke families, businesses, aur economy ko barbaad kar rahe hain – cheezon ke daam badh rahe hain aur jobs khatre mein hain.”
The Legal Battle Begins
Newsom aur California Attorney General Rob Bonta court se request karenge ki in tariffs ko turant roka jaaye. Ab dekhna yeh hai ki court kya faisla karta hai. White House ne abhi tak is case pe koi response nahi diya hai.
Trump’s Use of IEEPA
Trump ne International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) ka use karke tariffs lagaye hain, jisse markets mein hadkamp mach gaya hai. Experts ka kehna hai ki isse recession aa sakta hai aur international trade relations kharab ho sakte hain. 1977 mein bana IEEPA, president ko unusual and extraordinary threat ki situation mein financial transactions regulate karne ka power deta hai. Lekin iska use aaj tak countries, companies aur individuals pe sanctions lagane ke liye hi hota raha hai.
Other Legal Challenges
Trump pehle bhi tariffs lagane ke liye court mein challenge ho chuke hain. Kuch conservative legal groups aur Blackfeet Nation of Montana ne bhi cases file kiye hain. Justice Department chahta hai ki saare cases Court of International Trade mein transfer kar diye jaayen.
California’s Stand
California, ek Democratic state, pehle bhi Trump ke birthright citizenship aur federal grants pe freeze ke decisions ko challenge kar chuka hai. Newsom, apne governorship mein, climate change aur abortion rights jaise issues pe national voice ban kar ubhre hain. Unka second term 2026 mein khatam hoga, aur log soch rahe hain ki woh 2028 mein president ke election mein khade ho sakte hain.
California’s Economic Power
California, US ke total GDP ka 14% contribute karta hai aur yahan ki population 40 million hai. Agar California ek alag desh hota, toh yeh world ki largest economies mein se ek hota. Isliye, tariffs ka ispe kaafi zyada asar padta hai.
Agriculture and Manufacturing Hub
California agriculture aur manufacturing, jismein semiconductors, computer equipment aur vehicles shaamil hain, ke liye bahut important hai. 2022 mein, California ne $24 billion ke agricultural goods export kiye, jo total US farm exports ka kareeb 13% hai. Newsom ne pehle kaha tha ki woh global trading partners se seedha baat karke California ko Trump ke tariffs se bachane ki koshish karenge, lekin yeh clear nahi hai ki woh foreign partners ke saath international agreements kaise pursue karenge.
The Way Forward
Newsom aur Bonta ka kehna hai ki in tariffs ka California ke businesses pe bahut bura asar pad raha hai, khas karke 60,000 se zyada small business exporters pe. Ab dekhna hoga ki is legal battle ka kya anjaam nikalta hai.
