If Texas can ignore the federal government and make its own immigration policy, then I guess California can make its own trade policy. Seems fair.

California isn't saying it'll have it's own trade policies.

It's asking other countries to exempt stuff made in California from their retaliatory tariffs.

"Please EU, Japan, and China - tariff Kentucky bourbon and jack daniels instead of California wines."
