Attorney General Bonta Talks Tariffs, Economic Concerns with Central Valley Business Leaders

MODESTO — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today hosted business leaders for a roundtable conversation to discuss the impacts of President Trump’s illegal and chaotic tariffs across industries in California. The roundtable in Modesto comes after California’s second lawsuit against the Trump Administration over its unlawful use of tariffs and included leaders from the agriculture and healthcare sectors as well as small businesses and business chambers. Today’s roundtable follows similar discussions in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

We used to be able to have rational discussions with business leaders.

We used to describe the consequences of the obvious to their policy agenda and convince them to course correct.

Enlightened self-interest isn't in the driver's seat anymore.

They conduct themselves more like a barbarian horde's smash & grab that looted & pillaged Rome.
