Mexican officials vowed to push back against new tariffs the Trump administration is planning on heavy trucks, yet another hurdle the U.S. is throwing in front of its southern neighbor.

President Donald Trump said 25% duties on medium- and heavy-duty trucks would begin Nov. 1, the latest expansion of his tariff regime aimed at protecting domestic industries.

Ford Motor Co. shares climbed to their highest level since July 2024 on Sept. 26 on President Donald Trump’s newly announced truck levies.

American Trucking Associations in May voiced opposition to the prospect of the proposed truck tariffs, stressing the levies could cause financial strain for an industry already struggling.

The Trump administration launched investigations into imports of robotics, industrial machinery and medical devices, setting the stage for fresh duties.

Mexico is looking to apply tariffs of as much as 50% on cars and auto parts, as well as steel and textiles from China and other countries with which it does not have a trade agreement.

Before the measure took effect, the postal union sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to express concerns about its impact.

Tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act are already in place for steel and aluminum and have compelled truck makers to increase their prices.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he wants to maximize the impacts of retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. but minimize the pain for Canadian businesses.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order July 31 imposing new tariff rates on trading partners that take effect Aug. 1, the White House said.
