Politico reports:
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Friday he’s prepared to sue if appropriate to defend the state’s companies like Apple after President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on the iPhone maker unless it moves production fully to the U.S.
“We definitely will assess our potential role,” Bonta said in response to a question from POLITICO at a San Francisco press conference. “We will be monitoring what he does, if he does anything, and we’ll make sure that if the law is broken and we have standing to sue, we’ll take appropriate action.”
California’s top attorney has emerged as a leader of the blue state’s Trump resistance, launching or joining numerous lawsuits against White House policies, including the first state challenge against the president’s trade measures.
