In a significant move for the US trucking industry, President Donald Trump has announced that a 25% tariff will be imposed on imported medium and heavy-duty trucks starting November 1. This decision aims to protect domestic manufacturers amidst ongoing feuds among major US carmakers, including GM, Ford, and Stellantis, regarding the competitive landscape impacted by these tariffs. Analysts warn that this could have widespread negative effects on the trucking sector, raising concerns about potential job losses and increased operating costs. The announcement is part of a broader strategy to bolster domestic production, but it also raises uncertainty and concerns among international manufacturers.
