StubHub delayed its IPO just a few weeks after filing on Friday as President Donald Trump’s new tariff plan continues to send shockwaves through the market and consumers weigh a future of potential financial and economic unrest.

The ticketing company is expected to wait and see how the market further reacts in the coming days and weeks to Trump’s aggressive global economic policies. If the market reaches a state of relative calm again, it will likely resume its efforts to go public.

Gov. Gavin Newsom made it clear he is not a fan of President Trump’s new tariff plan in a video posted to X on Friday, with the California politician saying he has directed his administration to “look at new opportunities to expand trade” with other countries.

“Donald Trump’s tariffs do not represent all Americans,” Newsom said. “And on behalf of 40 million Americans that live in the great state of California — the tentpole of the U.S. economy, 14% of the U.S. GDP, the fifth-largest economy in the world, the dominant manufacturing state in America — our state of mind is around supporting stable trading relationships around the globe.”
