California Governor Gavin Newsom is sounding the alarm 🚨 over escalating tariffs, calling the Trump administration’s trade policies a "code red" emergency threatening jobs, holiday shopping, and the Golden State’s role as a global economic powerhouse. 🌎💼
In a fiery Fox News ad and weekend interview, Newsom revealed staggering port declines:
📦 Port of Oakland: 20% cargo drop
📉 LA & Long Beach: 35% fewer shipments
🚢 Cargo bookings: 60% free fall
"This isn’t just about backpacks today – soon it’ll be Christmas toys," warned the governor, comparing tariff chaos to a "zombie apocalypse" of economic unpredictability 🧟♂️💸. He criticized the White House for policy "zig-zags" that leave businesses struggling to plan.
With California recently suing Washington over tariff disputes ⚖️, Newsom stressed the damage could linger for months even if policies change. 🔄 "Decisions made today will haunt shelves tomorrow," he told viewers, urging stability for manufacturers and small businesses.
