California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs

Would be fun to watch companies from other states bypass the tariffs by buying California products.

Then of course, Trump will propose tariffs on a State.

As i read this, i am remembered of Newsom meeting Trump, after he refused to help with Californian wildfires.

But the tariffs are paid by American. It is tax on Americans. Why would foreign country care too much other than the price of their goods are a little higher for americans.

People will have to still buy essential products anyway or suffer clogged drains or sit on the floor without chairs or eat with hands without utensils.

In fact, I raised prices on my digital goods a while back due to trump threats of tariffs on Canada Mexico. i raised prices only on US platforms for my digital products. People are still buying.

All hail The New California Republic. But in all seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if the United States has a balkanization event happen in the near future.

While I agree with telling Trump to go lick Elon's balls, states are specifically forbidden from entering into trade agreements with foreign countries by the Constitution. To do this, California would need to be willing to secede from the Union. I'm okay with it.

Trump has got another great idea. A tax of 1.5 million dollars for each ship made in China that will dock at any American port, or 1 million if the ship is not made in china but the shipper fleet has a majority of Chinese ships.

So, off before they did like California, Panama, Louisiana, new York, those stops will increase the price of shipping by 4.5 million dollars.

Trump thinks that in this way, in a couple weeks, shipyards will reopen in the states and everyone will buy American ships. Because it takes a couple days to build an oil tanker

Result:

They'll just unload the goods in Canada or Mexico then use trains/trucks. For oil and coal and wheat and other stuff that can't be easily transported by land without ax existing infrastructure, that's an additional 20% cost on top of tariffs. Inflation go go go

EU is already trying to specifically target products from red states with tariffs.

This is based on a quote "look at new opportunities to expand trade" and a tweet "California is here and ready to talk." How definitive do those two things sound? How definitive does Newsweek's title sound?

Newsweek is a gossip rag.

Holy shit, my prediction model forecast this. 🍿 This is actually a major step toward derailing this coup.

Im not an American but can they actually do this legally?

Secede and then we can trade :)

Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.

Kudos to California. The neo-Nazi filled MAGA is all about state rights and I hope they tell California to secede.

Succession! And we’re taking Hawaii Oregon and Washington. We can trade with the EU and Canada. Maybe we can join the EU

Last civil war was about state rights to own slaves. Now its state right to avoid trade distribution?

My god the writers need to be fired.

It would be ironic if businesses come back to California because of the tariffs.

If Trump thinks he's above the Constitution why can't a state?

wanna join EU? ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Unfortunately this runs into constitutional problems. While the spineless subhuman creatures in congress and the supreme court seem to have no problem with Trump and his administration ignoring the constitution I fully expect them to come down hard on any state that does so (at least in cases that go against Trump and his policies).

Thank goodness now we are talking. Time for California to move past the Orange Turd.

Oh shit can they do that?

California ! Uber Alles !

Unironically ? I’m so confused

No politician in California is going to criticize the lack proper vote counting techniques in the USA states that caused this harm. This is because Californian leadership is in thrall to the oligarchs.

Also the man saying this is not the type of person to get out of the safe zone.

I’m not quite sure why people are thinking anything significant can or will happen. The United States cannot change at all

And this is constitutional how exactly?
