Xinhua News Agency, New York, October 6 — U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 6th that starting November 1, the United States will impose a 25% tariff on imported medium and heavy trucks.

On that day, Trump posted on social media: "Starting November 1, 2025, all medium and heavy trucks entering the U.S. from other countries will be subject to a 25% tariff."

On September 25, Trump posted on social media under the pretext of "national security," announcing that the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on imported heavy trucks starting October 1. After the announcement, major U.S. automakers expressed opposition, citing concerns over supply chain disruptions and rising costs. As a result, the timeline was forced to be delayed.

On September 9, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would review the legality of most tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, with oral arguments scheduled for the first week of November.
