Trump issued a proclamation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 imposing sweeping new tariffs on medium- and heavy-duty trucks, truck parts, and buses, marking the first time that the United States has applied Section 232 measures to an entire vehicle class outside the passenger car segment. The new tariffs, 25 percent on trucks and key truck parts and 10 percent on buses, will take effect on Nov. 1, and will apply according to the rules on tariff stacking.
