    • 2025 November 6, Economist staff, “America's furniture-makers exemplify the folly of tariffs. Donald Trump is pushing up costs to rescue an industry that has already adapted to globalisation”, in The Economist‎[1], archived from the original on 6 November 2025:
      The Trump administration is betting that its favourite tool [tariffs] can return American furniture-making to its better days. Last month, as High Point [a city in North Carolina] readied itself for its big event [a trade fair featuring domestic manufacturers of furniture], America imposed a tariff of 25% on upholstered wooden furniture, vanities and kitchen cabinets. In January the rate will rise further, to 30% for furniture and 50% for cabinets. Yet many in the industry [who might in theory benefit from protectionism] are unenthused.
