100% on pharma products, 50% on kitchen cabinets: Donald Trump announces series of tariffs – check list

US President Donald Trump on Friday announced a 100% tariff on pharma products, along with 50% on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, 30% on upholstered furniture and 25% on heavy trucks starting on October 1.The announcements came in a series of posts on his social media platform indicating that he remains committed to tariffs beyond the trade frameworks and import taxes introduced in August.

“Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America. ‘IS BUILDING’ will be defined as, ‘breaking ground’ and/or ‘under construction’,” he said in a post on Truth Social.“There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these Pharmaceutical Products if construction has started. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he added.Here’s a list of tariffs announced:

Announcing the tariffs on trucks, he said, “In order to protect our Great Heavy Truck Manufacturers from unfair outside competition, I will be imposing, as of October 1st, 2025, a 25% Tariff on all “Heavy (Big!) Trucks” made in other parts of the World. Therefore, our Great Large Truck Company Manufacturers, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks, and others, will be protected from the onslaught of outside interruptions. We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for National Security purposes!”“We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale ‘FLOODING’ of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he said.Trump has argued that tariffs will encourage domestic investment, dismissing concerns that higher import taxes raise costs for consumers and businesses. He claimed inflation was under control, despite the consumer price index rising 2.9% over the past year. There was also little evidence that tariffs were creating jobs or new manufacturing facilities, with manufacturers cutting 42,000 jobs and builders reducing 8,000 since April.
