WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed a New Year’s Eve proclamation delaying increased tariffs on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities for a year, citing ongoing trade talks.

Trump’s order signed Wednesday keeps in place a 25% tariff he imposed in September on those goods, but delays for another year a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture and 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and vanities.

The increases, which were set to take effect Jan. 1, come as the Republican president instituted a broad swath of taxes on imported goods to address trade imbalances and other issues.

The president has said the tariffs on furniture are needed to “bolster American industry and protect national security.”

1. I wonder how much of a bribe these industries paid him?

[bucolic_frolic]

2. What's he gonna do about artichokes?

What was $1.79 is $3.99! Or you can buy the 1/2 size jar for $3.19!

Getting LESS for your money? Some buffoon is stealing it.

4. Did Vance talk him into backing off on the upholstered furniture tariff?

5. You read my dirty mind🤣

7. There hasn't been a decent settee made in the US for fifty years.

And, Shady (although he’s apparently okay with flea market finds) has said he isn’t into antiques.

8. 🤣

11. Now that he attained high office he's

moved up from that cheap loose cushion scene. I would love it if a journalist had the guts to say to him at a news conference "So JD when you were making love to the furniture did you give the furniture names or dress it up in any way?"

6. 🎶 Taco Taco Man...I wannabe the Taco Man 🎶

9. The checks from those lobbyists must have shown up...

Given the holiday shipping rush; they were delayed a few days…

Next time he expects them hand delivered on bender knee.

10. Basically a gift

to people who can afford to furnish or remodel their homes. There must have been some complaints from "people that matter."

[AllyCat]

12. Upholstered furniture and cabinets are indeed a

National security issue!

[valleyrogue]

13. Giving JD enough time to stockpile couches. N/T

[Old Crank]

14. Construction companies and realators

probably bent someones ear. Told them that the tarrif would drive the price of housing up. Since we know that US makers, if any would raise thier prices to match.

15. So trump

is planning on sucking folks back in bit by bit?

16. A Small Step In The Right Direction For The Wrong Reason

Trump is using the wrong tool once again. Did he not get the memo on John Deere? Soon, there won't be much left to destroy.
