The Trump administration is seeking to move California Governor Gavin Newsom’s legal challenge to the US tariff regime out of San Francisco federal court to the Court of International Trade in New York.

Justice Department lawyers on Thursday filed a request to transfer the case from Newsom’s home turf, arguing that the trade court has “exclusive jurisdiction” over disputes related to tariffs.
