WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump announced Monday that all medium- and heavy-duty trucks imported into the United States will be subject to a 25% tariff, starting Nov. 1, 2025.

“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%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump had initially announced that the tariffs would take effect on Oct. 1, but the start date was postponed after officials considered appeals from companies worried about the potential impact.
