https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/22/trum...ure-trade.htmlTrump says furniture tariffs are coming later this year
The Trump administration has launched an investigation into imported furniture, President Donald Trump said Friday, setting the stage for new tariffs on a wide range of products.
“Within the next 50 days, that Investigation will be completed, and Furniture coming from other Countries into the United States will be Tariffed at a Rate yet to be determined,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “This will bring the Furniture Business back to North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and States all across the Union.”
Following Trump’s post, shares of top furniture and home goods companies, including Wayfair, RH and Williams-Sonoma, tumbled in after-hours trading.
Wayfair imports much of its furniture. RH, formerly Restoration Hardware and Williams-Sonoma have been working to diversify their supply chains.

Trump is willing to wreck small businesses because the juice isn't worth the squeeze for him personally
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...l-it-affect-yoThe cost of mailing packages to the US is set to surge after the Trump administration removed a rule exempting packages worth under US$800 from tariffs.
From Friday, packages will be subject to fees relating to the tariff rates applying to their country of origin, making postage much more expensive. Postal services will have to cover the increased cost or pass it on to customers.
Dozens of countries have suspended postal services to the US to take time to adjust to the new rules and account for increased expenses.
https://globalnews.ca/news/11449417/...ade-agreement/Canada signs ‘game-changing’ trade deal with Indonesia, new defence pact
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed new agreements on trade and defence cooperation with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Parliament Hill.
The trade deal is comprehensive, meaning it opens up trade in multiple industries with the world’s fourth most populous country.
Carney said the “game-changing” agreement is the first-ever bilateral trade pact signed with a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
“Once it’s fully implemented, it means that over 95 per cent of the tariffs on Canada’s current exports to Indonesia will be reduced or eliminated,” he told reporters in Ottawa.
“They will all be at preferential rates, making our exports obviously far more compe ive.”
The prime minister also announced a new defence cooperation agreement that will “deepen our collaboration on maritime security cyber defence, peacekeeping and military education.”
“This is critical for Canada as part of our Indo-Pacific strategy, and it sends a strong signal to the world that Canada and Indonesia are committed to working together for peace and stability in the region and beyond,” he said.

episodic car collisions aren't national emergencies, this is more pretextual bull
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...ns-2025-09-26/The U.S. Transportation Department said Friday it was issuing an emergency regulation to drastically restrict commercial driver licenses to non-U.S. citizens after a fatal crash in Florida and a government audit.
Non-citizens will not be eligible for a truck-driving license unless they meet new stricter rules, including an employment-based visa, and undergo a mandatory federal immigration status check.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is also launching an enforcement action against California, requiring it to pause issuing some commercial driver licenses to non-U.S. citizens.

https://www.freepressjournal.in/busi...tariffs-to-100China Opens Doors For Indian Pharma With Zero Duty, Relief Arrives As US Shuts Out Imports With 100% Tariff
New Delhi: In a major development, China has slashed the 30 percent import duty on Indian pharmaceutical products to zero. This landmark step will allow Indian drug manufacturers to export medicines to China without paying any customs duty. Experts say this decision could boost Indian pharma exports by billions of dollars in the coming years.
The announcement comes just after US President Donald Trump imposed a 100 percent tariff on pharma imports, a move that could hurt India’s large drug-exporting industry. With the US market becoming costlier, China’s decision offers Indian companies an alternative market with strong demand for affordable medicines.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/...ia-2025-09-29/Under Trump, US cedes its share of China's beef market to Australia
CANBERRA/CHICAGO, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Australian beef has replaced U.S. supply in China since President Donald Trump returned to the White House, funnelling hundreds of millions of dollars that have in previous years gone to the U.S. cattle industry into Australian pockets.
U.S. shipments to China, worth around $120 million a month, collapsed after Beijing in March allowed permits to expire at hundreds of American meat facilities and as Trump unleashed a -for-tat tariff war.
Other U.S. farm exports to China, the world's biggest food importer, have also suffered since Trump retook power. On soybeans alone, U.S. farmers have lost out on shipments worth billions of dollars during the current harvest season.
U.S. beef exports have in general declined in recent years as drought shrank the country's cattle herd, reducing production and pushing prices to record highs. But the drop in trade with China has been far more sudden and extreme.
The value of U.S. beef sent to China fell to just $8.1 million in July and $9.5 million in August, Chinese trade data showed, compared to $118 million and $125 million in the same months a year earlier.
Australia has mopped up. Its beef shipments to China shot from $140 million a month in the two years to March to $221 million in July and $226 million in August.
In total, over the five months from April through August, U.S. beef exports to China were worth $388 million less than if trade had remained at the average level of the previous two years. Australian shipments were worth $313 million more.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/29/e...p-movie-tariffTrump announces 100% tariff on foreign-made movies
President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday he will be imposing a 100% tariff “on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States.”
Trump did not specify when or how the tariff could be enacted.
If Trump follows through with his threat, it would mark the first time he’s essentially imposed a tariff on a service rather than a good.
The president initially threatened a 100% tariff on foreign-produced movies in May, arguing that other countries offer tax incentives that have drawn filmmakers abroad. In his post on Monday, he singled out California, saying the state “has been particularly hard hit!”
