California to ask federal judge for sweeping pause to Trump’s tariffs

The California attorney general is seeking to halt President Trump's tariffs as part of a lawsuit challenging their legality, arguing that Trump lacks proper authority under federal law. The case, filed in California, claims the tariffs are based on an unsupported rationale tied to fentanyl production, causing economic harm to California and its businesses. A preliminary injunction could stop sweeping import duties until the legal challenge is resolved, with a court hearing scheduled next week and a decision expected by mid-June.
