Framework raised prices and then un-raised them an hour later because of Trump

American computer manufacturer Framework has reversed a price hike on its products in the US, introduced in response to President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on China, after the president promised a 90-day pause on tariffs in most countries less than a day after they came into force.
However, the company has now said it will still impose a 10% tariff on its cheapest laptops, because it cannot absorb the remaining 10% tariff on Taiwan-made machines.
Also, some prices will remain higher on China-made components, such as $15 f or a U SB - Cp or t r a t h er t han$ 9, or $49 f or an Et h er n e t c a r d r a t h er t han$ 39.
The company has confirmed it will delay the opening of pre-orders for its new entry-level Framework Laptop 12 in the US while it puts the product on sale in other territories.
The tariffs, which are aimed at reducing the US trade deficit and helping to protect American jobs, came into force at 12.01am ET on Wednesday.
