Trump imposes 25% tariffs on medium, heavy-duty trucks from November 1
US President Donald Trump on Monday announced that his administration will impose 25 per cent tariffs on imported medium-and heavy-duty trucks, with the new duties taking effect from November 1.
“Beginning November 1st, 2025, all Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks coming into the United States from other Countries will be Tariffed at the Rate of 25 per cent,” Trump posted on his social media platform, adding no further details.
The decision follows months of discussion and pushback from Detroit’s major automakers, who have lobbied the Trump administration to reconsider the tariff’s timing and potential impact. Trump had initially announced in September that the levies would start on October 1, but the deadline was postponed after industry executives raised concerns over costs, supply chains, and competitiveness.
