英语新闻丨全美首例！加州起诉特朗普政府

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that his state will file a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's authority to impose sweeping tariffs that have set off a global trade war.

加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆周三表示，该州将提起诉讼，质疑唐纳德·特朗普总统征收全面关税的权力，此举已引发全球贸易战。

The suit will argue that Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs on certain countries or a 10-percent tariff on all imports is unlawful.

该诉讼将辩称，特朗普利用《国际紧急经济权力法》对某些国家征收关税，或对所有进口产品征收10%的关税是非法的。

The lawsuit, which will be filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, will also argue that enacting such tariffs requires approval from Congress, Newsom's office said in a news release.

纽瑟姆办公室在一份新闻稿中表示，该诉讼将向加州北区联邦地区法院提起，诉讼还将辩称，颁布此类关税需要国会批准。

Newsom says the tariffs in effect have resulted in inflated costs and billions of dollars in damage in California.

纽瑟姆表示，这些关税实际上导致加州成本膨胀，并造成数十亿美元的损失。

"President Trump's unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy—driving up prices and threatening jobs," he said in a statement. "We're standing up for American families who can't afford to let the chaos continue."

“特朗普总统非法加征的关税，正在给加州家庭、企业和我们的经济带来混乱——推高物价、威胁就业岗位，”纽森在一份声明中表示。“我们正在为那些无法承受持续混乱的美国家庭挺身而出。”
