This is based on a quote "look at new opportunities to expand trade" and a tweet "California is here and ready to talk." How definitive do those two things sound? How definitive does Newsweek's title sound?

Newsweek is a gossip rag.

Good. There is no point in being part of a government that doesn't believe in governance. Here's hoping that other Blue States join a compact with California.

Trump has got another great idea. A tax of 1.5 million dollars for each ship made in China that will dock at any American port, or 1 million if the ship is not made in china but the shipper fleet has a majority of Chinese ships.

So, off before they did like California, Panama, Louisiana, new York, those stops will increase the price of shipping by 4.5 million dollars.

Trump thinks that in this way, in a couple weeks, shipyards will reopen in the states and everyone will buy American ships. Because it takes a couple days to build an oil tanker

Result:

They'll just unload the goods in Canada or Mexico then use trains/trucks. For oil and coal and wheat and other stuff that can't be easily transported by land without ax existing infrastructure, that's an additional 20% cost on top of tariffs. Inflation go go go

Here we go, dissolution of the U.S. is starting. It's a slow roll, but i think that's where we are headed

EU is already trying to specifically target products from red states with tariffs.

Last civil war was about state rights to own slaves. Now its state right to avoid trade distribution?

My god the writers need to be fired.

It would be ironic if businesses come back to California because of the tariffs.

If Trump thinks he's above the Constitution why can't a state?

Unfortunately this runs into constitutional problems. While the spineless subhuman creatures in congress and the supreme court seem to have no problem with Trump and his administration ignoring the constitution I fully expect them to come down hard on any state that does so (at least in cases that go against Trump and his policies).

Holy shit, my prediction model forecast this. 🍿 This is actually a major step toward derailing this coup.

Secede and then we can trade :)

Glad to hear, im Canadian and i have no problem buying American products from certain states.

Hope this falls through. Any trade deals that allow the US to circumvent Trumps policies and thus keep his regime going is bad. The big crash needs to happen before people are motivated to fight back. The slow frog boil is what led us here to begin with.

Kudos to California. The neo-Nazi filled MAGA is all about state rights and I hope they tell California to secede.
