**Trump Announces Drastic Trade Measures Against China, Threatening 100% Tariffs**

**Washington D.C.** – Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday a new wave of aggressive trade measures targeting China, including a potential 100% tariff on all Chinese imports and strict export controls on critical U.S.-made software, slated to begin November 1st, 2025, or sooner depending on China’s actions.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Beijing of adopting an “extraordinarily aggressive position on trade,” claiming the move follows reports that China plans to impose sweeping export restrictions on virtually every product they make. He characterized China’s actions as a “moral disgrace” in its dealings with other nations.

“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% on China, over and above any tariff that they are currently paying,” Trump stated. He further added that the U.S. would impose export controls on any and all critical software starting November 1st.

Analysts suggest that these measures, if implemented, could have a devastating impact on various sectors, including consumer electronics and electric vehicles, which are already grappling with existing tariffs. The announcement marks a significant escalation of trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies and signals a return to the protectionist policies seen during Trump’s first term.

The announcement also follows reports that China dramatically expanded its rare earth element export controls on Thursday, which Trump interpreted as China holding the global economy hostage.

Adding fuel to the fire, Trump indicated he may cancel a planned meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, scheduled to take place in South Korea in approximately three weeks. Trump complained about China’s actions, stating there was “no reason” to hold the meeting. Beijing has not yet confirmed the meeting between the leaders.
