On Tuesday night, he said tariffs on drugs could “probably” come at the end of the month, starting low and working their way up. A week earlier, Trump told reporters he would impose tariffs as high as 200% on drug companies if they don’t shift more of their manufacturing to the US over the next year to 18 months.

The action applies to certain Bronco Sport and Escape models from 2020 to 2024, according to documents posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. Ford has identified eight instances where cracking in a fuel injector led to a fire under the car’s hood. None of these resulted in injuries.
