Former President Donald Trump announced a new series of tariffs on Thursday, targeting imported drugs, heavy-duty trucks, and kitchen/bathroom cabinets. He stated the 100% tariff on branded drugs would be waived if manufacturers build plants in the US. Trump cited protection for American manufacturers against foreign "flooding" and "unfair competition." These industry-focused duties expand his previous tariff policies, despite concerns from businesses about rising consumer costs and reliance on allied suppliers for parts.
