Newsom Bows to Global Pressure, Undermines Trump’s Economic Plan with Shocking Appeal to Foreign Powers

APRIL 4, 2025 – In a move already raising alarms across conservative America, California Governor Gavin Newsom is openly working against President Trump’s historic economic strategy—by urging foreign governments to spare California-made goods from retaliatory tariffs in the ongoing trade reset.

Newsom’s message to the world? “Ignore President Trump. Do business with us instead.”

In a carefully scripted video posted to X, Newsom declared:
“Donald Trump’s tariffs do not represent all Americans.”

He claimed to speak for California’s 40 million residents—calling the state the “tentpole” of the U.S. economy and vowing to preserve “stable trading relationships around the globe,” even as the rest of the nation rallies behind President Trump’s America First policies.


⚠️ Newsom’s Global Outreach — Legal or Dangerous Overreach?

Behind the scenes, Newsom officials told Fox News Digital that the governor’s bizarre global charm offensive is a direct response to President Trump’s bold ‘Liberation Day’ Tariff Plan—a sweeping economic reset that imposes a 10% baseline import duty, with higher penalties for nations like China and Germany that have taken advantage of American trade policy for decades.

But here’s the catch: Under the U.S. Constitution, states have zero authority to negotiate global trade deals. That power belongs strictly to Congress and the President.

“This is unconstitutional, dangerous, and frankly embarrassing,” said one senior policy analyst. “Newsom isn’t president—and the world shouldn’t be fooled.”


🚨 What’s Really Behind Newsom’s Panic?

California’s powerful almond industry—a $5 billion export giant—is at the center of the controversy. With 80% of the world’s almonds grown in California, foreign tariffs could hit Big Agriculture hard. Newsom is also scrambling to protect exports of wine, dairy, pistachios, and walnuts—products heavily reliant on global markets.

Meanwhile, crime, homelessness, and mass migration continue to cripple everyday life for millions of California families.

White House spokesperson Kush Desai issued a direct response:

“Gavin Newsom should focus on the homeless crisis, violent crime, and runaway taxes plaguing his state—instead of pretending he’s Secretary of State.”


📉 Economic Fallout or a Necessary Reset?

Newsom’s team claims Trump’s new tariffs will raise costs on goods like Canadian lumber—essential for rebuilding after California’s devastating wildfires. However, Trump’s team says the short-term pain is necessary for long-term American prosperity.

“This is economic independence day,” President Trump declared.
“We’re taking back control. No more watching American jobs disappear while other nations get rich off our backs.”

He added:

“The markets will boom. The middle class will win. And we’ll pay down our debt using money we’ve been hemorrhaging to foreign nations.”


🔎 Why This Matters to American Taxpayers

  • 🇺🇸 President Trump’s tariff plan is designed to protect American workers and industries—not foreign interests.
  • 🌎 Newsom’s attempt to go around federal policy sets a dangerous precedent and could embolden other blue states.
  • 💰 The cost of globalism has already crushed retirees, small businesses, and the middle class.

The real question: Is Gavin Newsom protecting California—or just his globalist donors?


BOTTOM LINE:
At a time when President Trump is fighting to restore American industry, secure supply chains, and reclaim our financial sovereignty, Gavin Newsom is playing diplomat for global elites.
