California can do that?

Edit from le chat mistral:

So he doesn't give them anything, he's just asking to keep trading with them

"Yes, that's correct. Governor Newsom's strategy primarily involves advocating for California's economic interests and encouraging international trading partners to maintain or even expand their trade relationships with California, despite the federal tariffs. He is essentially asking these partners to consider exempting California-made products from retaliatory tariffs, emphasizing the state's economic stability and reliability as a trading partner. This approach does not involve offering specific concessions or incentives but rather leverages California's significant market power and economic influence to negotiate more favorable trade conditions."

California isn't doing anything, just asking politely to be exempt from our tariffs on USA.
