California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs
California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs
Gov. Gavin Newsom said California will look for new trade opportunities.
In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk."
It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

A chilling look into what could be the first real steps towards the Balkanization of the United States. It's sad that it's gotten to this point, but realistically I don't see another path forward. It may be unconstitutional, but unfortunatly that founding document has lost its legitimately as the current administration wipes it's ass with it on a daily basis.
America's over. Time to split and let the trump States suffer. It's all we can do
I think the fact that you have such a polarized society where states are "red" or "blue" and have such different policies and views on things make it difficult to function as 1 country. Of course this has always been the case to a certain extent but nowadays it feels a lot more rabid then before. Knowing how much democrats like being pushovers nothing will probably happen (for the good of the country or some bullshit) but I do hope that more and more of these protest style things keep happening and that Trumps authority keeps withering away.
Let Texas and Florida play nanny to the red states? Until Florida is underwater anyway.
That'll be a fun decade
It's been pretty fragmented since the whole "states rights" movement.
