The new 100% tariff on any branded or patented pharmaceutical product will apply to all imports unless the company has already broken ground on building a manufacturing plant in the United States, Trump said.

He further added that he would start charging a 50% tariff on bathroom vanities and a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture the following week, with all the new duties to take effect on October 1.

He said the new heavy-duty truck tariffs were to protect manufacturers from “unfair outside competition” and said the move would benefit companies such as Paccar-owned Peterbilt and Kenworth and Daimler Truck-owned Freightliner.

The new tariffs on kitchen, bathroom and some furniture were because of huge levels of imports which were hurting local manufacturers, Trump said.

Trump has launched numerous national security probes into potential new tariffs on a wide variety of products during his second term, casting a shadow over the global economic outlook and paralyzing business decision-making.

“The reason for this is the large scale ‘FLOODING’ of these products into the United States by other outside Countries,” Trump said on Truth Social.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America opposed new drug tariffs, saying earlier this year that 53% by value of the $85.6 billion in ingredients used in medicines consumed in the United States was manufactured in the United States with the remainder from Europe and other U.S. allies.

The US Chamber of Commerce urged the department not to impose new truck tariffs, noting the top five import sources are Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany, and Finland “all of which are allies or close partners of the United States posing no threat to U.S. national security.”

Mexico is the largest exporter of medium- and heavy-duty trucks to the United States. A study released in January said imports of those larger vehicles from Mexico have tripled since 2019.
