【 摘 要 】

This article analyzes the tensions between federal states and the U.S. White House in the immigration and environmental themes, with a focus on the state of California. We argue that the relationship between federal states and the national government in the current Trump government has a more conflictive character. It can be understood as a new kind of dual federalism, which is contrary to the current literature that considers such a model to be overcome. We start from the hypothesis that this type of action questions the perception that the conduct of US foreign policy is unified and restricted to the central government. We argue that the reaction of states to Trump’s government is linked to partisan motivations, especially in states with a more progressive profile. To do so, we will analyze the actions of the state of California as well as it’s leadership in the articulation of this movement.
