California AG Rob Bonta Considers Lawsuit Over Trump’s 25% iPhone Tariff After Bay Area Business Roundtable

California Attorney General Rob Bonta is considering legal action against the Trump administration following the announcement of potential tariffs targeting Apple products, including a proposed 25% tariff on iPhones. Bonta hosted a roundtable in San Francisco with Bay Area business leaders to discuss the economic impact of these tariffs on California industries. He expressed concerns that the tariffs would increase costs for Americans, drive inflation higher, and result in job losses within the state. The roundtable included eight business leaders who highlighted the challenges posed by the tariffs to California's economy. Additionally, California plans to sue the federal government to preserve its authority to ban gas-powered cars in the future. State representatives have emphasized California's leadership role in opposing what they describe as reckless tariffs that negatively affect families and small businesses.
