In another publication, Trump wrote about an additional 25% tariff in “all ‘heavy trucks’ manufactured in other parts of the world” to support US manufacturers such as “Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks and others.”
He said that truck tariffs are justified “for many reasons, but above all, for national security purposes.”
At the beginning of the year, the Trump administration launched an investigation into truck imports to “determine the effects on national security.”
The Republican also referred to the materials for the renewal of the home. “We will impose a 50% tariff in all kitchen cabinets, bath dressers and associated products.”
This rate would also take effect on October 1.
“In addition, we will charge a 30% tariff in upholstered furniture.”
Since he returned to the presidency in January, Trump leads a tariff offensive aimed mainly to reduce the commercial deficit of the United States.
