Trump tariffs: US President announces 25% levies on medium, heavy-duty truck imports

US President Donald Trump has announced a significant 25% tariff on all medium and heavy-duty trucks entering the United States, effective November 1, 2025. This move, aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing and protecting American truck makers from foreign competition, follows a Commerce Department probe into predatory trade practices. The tariff is part of a broader protectionist agenda.
