When President Trump and first lady Melania Trump lit the National Christmas Tree Wednesday, it signaled the start of more expensive holiday displays across the country thanks to the trade war with China.
Mr. Trump’s tariffs on China are driving up the cost of Christmas lights this year, warned the Tariffs Hurt the Heartland business group.
The 10 percent tariff on Christmas lights was among duties Mr. Trump slapped on $200 billion of Chinese goods in late September — smack in the middle of the peak season for increasing holiday inventory.
The higher costs are being passed on to Christmas shoppers, said former GOP Rep. Charles Boustany, spokesman for Tariffs Hurt the Heartland.
“This is another instance when these tariffs are nothing more than a tax on businesses and working families,” he said. “Raising costs for businesses and consumers during the holidays doesn’t do anything but punish Americans who, polls show, want nothing to do with this trade war.”
