Hey there! Have you ever gone shopping for a new backpack or a cool toy but couldn’t find it? 😲 Well, California’s Governor, Gavin Newsom, is worried that might happen soon!
Governor Newsom is speaking out against President Trump’s plan to add tariffs on goods coming into the United States. But what are tariffs? 🤔
Tariffs are like extra taxes on things we buy from other countries. This means those items could become more expensive or harder to find. If stores can’t get as many products, we might see empty shelves when shopping for school supplies or holiday gifts! 🎒🎄
In a new ad, Governor Newsom stands at the Port of Oakland (a huge place where ships bring in goods) and talks about how California became the world’s fourth-largest economy by reducing trade barriers. He believes that keeping trade open helps everyone get the things they need and love.
He warns that the tariffs could slow down imports and “punish families” by making it harder to get essential goods. Imagine not finding that special gift you’ve been saving up for! 😔
The ad is airing on TV during “Fox and Friends” this weekend. Governor Newsom wants everyone to know how important it is to keep goods flowing into our stores.
