flag The U.S. is investigating imports of key medical and industrial goods for national security risks, potentially leading to tariffs.

flag The U.S. Commerce Department has launched new Section 232 national security investigations into imports of personal protective equipment, medical devices, robotics, and industrial machinery, following actions taken on September 2, 2025. flag The probes, aimed at assessing risks to national security, could lead to tariffs on goods including face masks, syringes, surgical instruments, hospital beds, wheelchairs, MRI and CT scanners, robotic systems, and industrial tools. flag The department is gathering data on domestic demand, production capacity, and foreign supply chains, particularly from China, as part of efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing resilience. flag The move continues broader efforts to reduce reliance on foreign sources in critical sectors, including semiconductors and critical minerals, though pharmaceuticals remain under separate review. flag Findings may result in new trade restrictions to bolster domestic industries and national security.
