Overview

• Branded and patented pharmaceuticals will face a 100% tariff unless the manufacturer is building a U.S. plant, which Trump defined as construction having started or being under way.
• Heavy trucks manufactured outside the United States will be subject to a 25% tariff, while kitchen and bathroom cabinets will face 50% and upholstered furniture 30%.
• Trump announced the tariffs in posts on Truth Social, saying they aim to shield domestic producers from what he called a flood of imports.
• The pharmaceutical action follows an April investigation that set the stage for using national-security authority to adjust imports, according to prior reporting.
• Business groups warn the truck and furniture measures could disrupt supply chains reliant on partners like Mexico and Canada and raise costs, and no formal decree had been published as of the latest reports.
