President Donald Trump on Monday (September 29) escalated his tariff rhetoric, pledging sweeping trade restrictions on both the furniture and film industries as part of his campaign to bring manufacturing and entertainment jobs back to the United States.
In one post on Truth Social, Trump singled out North Carolina’s once-booming furniture industry, accusing China and other nations of destroying local businesses.
“In order to make North Carolina, which has completely lost its furniture business to China, and other Countries, GREAT again, I will be imposing substantial Tariffs on any Country that does not make its furniture in the United States. Details to follow!!!”
Minutes earlier, Trump had his focus to Hollywood, claiming foreign competitors had undercut America’s movie-making dominance.
“Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing ‘candy from a baby.’ California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
