Think Logan Act: Gov. Newsom Treasonously Asks for Separate Tariff Deal with China

California and China signed treaties. And Gov. Newsom took pains to distinguish California’s relationship with China from American foreign policy.

This from frontpagemag.com.

What is it with Leftists and violating the Logan Act? A month ago, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz told Canada his state was ready to ‘find a way’ to work with our neighbor to the north to get around President Trump-imposed tariffs.

Newsom began his visit with a climate-themed discussion at the University of Hong Kong. He told the audience they ‘can rely on California,’ while addressing claims that the United States is not a reliable ally.

‘I want you to know, regardless of what happens nationally, sub-nationally, you have a partner in the state of California,’ he said.

This is the kind of thing that would have led to federal military intervention and treason trials up until the early 60s.

And so, unsurprisingly Gov. Newsom announced to China and other nations that California wants to pursue a separate foreign economic policy.

‘Donald Trump’s tariffs do not represent all Americans,’ Newsom said in a video announcement posted to X. ‘And on behalf of 40 million Americans that live in the great state of California, the tentpole of the U.S. economy … the dominant manufacturing state in America, our state of mind is around supporting stable trading relationships around the globe.’

Newsom added he’s directed his administration to seek out new opportunities to ‘expand trade’ and ‘remind trading partners around the world that California remains a stable partner.’

‘California is ‘ready to talk’ with global trading partners,’ Newsom wrote on X.

Referring to the state’s economic might, Newsom added his state is ‘not scared to use our market power to fight back against the largest tax hike of our lifetime.’

A governor telling foreign nations he is separating his state from the national policy and wants to talk to them, and that he will be using the state’s market power to fight federal economic foreign policy is treason.

Especially during an economic war.

Gavin Newsom is putting political ambitions before America.

Arrest for treason would be the next right thing for him.
