英語新聞丨全美首例!加州起訴特朗普政府
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.
加利福尼亞州州長加文·紐瑟姆週三表示,該州將提起訴訟,質疑唐納德·特朗普總統征收全面關稅的權力,此舉已引發全球貿易戰。
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.
該訴訟將辯稱,特朗普利用《國際緊急經濟權力法》對某些國家征收關稅,或對所有進口產品征收10%的關稅是非法的。
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.
紐瑟姆辦公室在一份新聞稿中表示,該訴訟將向加州北區聯邦地區法院提起,訴訟還將辯稱,頒布此類關稅需要國會批準。
Newsom says the tariffs in effect have resulted in inflated costs and billions of dollars in damage in California.
紐瑟姆表示,這些關稅實際上導致加州成本膨脹,並造成數十億美元的損失。
"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."
“特朗普總統非法加征的關稅,正在給加州家庭、企業和我們的經濟帶來混亂——推高物價、威脅就業崗位,”紐森在一份聲明中表示。“我們正在為那些無法承受持續混亂的美國家庭挺身而出。”
