U.S. President Donald Trump has declared the introduction of a 100% tariff on all imports from China, set to take effect by November or potentially earlier. This decision comes in response to what he described as China’s aggressive and unfair trade practices. According to the announcement, China intends to implement sweeping export bans covering almost all goods starting on November 1, signaling a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two countries.
In a direct countermeasure, the United States will impose export controls targeting essential software technologies, aiming to protect national interests and maintain strategic leverage. Despite the mounting economic friction, President Trump confirmed that his planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping remains on schedule, indicating that diplomatic channels will remain open even as both nations prepare for intensified trade restrictions.
