President Donald Trump has postponed a planned increase in tariffs on imported upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities by one year, enabling further trade negotiations while keeping the current 25 percent duty in effect, the White House said Wednesday.

The declaration, signed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, delays the hike that was scheduled to begin Jan. 1, 2026.
