You're saying reasons why it would be good for California but that wasn't the question I was asking.

I was asking why the ever tucking hell would a nation risk further tariffs and Trump retaliation just to lend a hand to California?

Perhaps a state subsidy on particular products (that it primarily imports from China)?

He literally said the reason here.

No sane country would make this deal because then Trump would just go "ok then you can double your tarriff".

Brother nobody gives a shit about trumps tariffs lol, if california wants to trade with the world, they will come begging -

Everyone is just signing new agreements that exclude America, sure it’ll take a few years but in 5-6 we will never need to trade at scale with the US again, new factories and plants are being built all around the world as we speak
