US to impose additional 100 percent tariff on Chinese imports from November: Trump

The US will slap an additional 100 percent tariff on imports from China and impose export controls on all critical US-made software from November 1, President Donald Trump said on Friday.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “Starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100 percent on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying.”

Earlier in the day, Trump said he no longer felt the need for a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this month, slamming Beijing for hostile trade practices and threatening “massive” tariffs.

In a lengthy and unexpected Truth Social post, Trump railed against China imposing export controls on rare earth minerals — a critical component in modern technology.

“Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile,” Trump said in the first post.
