Trump Threatens Fresh Tariffs Related to Furniture, Movies

"President Donald Trump said he would levy new tariffs to boost the domestic film and furniture industries through a pair of sweeping, yet confusing, plans.

Trump posted on social media Monday that he would be “imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States.” It’s unclear how that would work; companies, not countries, manufacture furniture and the duties are charged on specific imports, not governments.

“Details to follow!!” the president wrote. Trump said he would act “in order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again.”

In a separate post, Trump reiterated his threat to impose a 100% tariff “on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
