The announcement was made hours after a separate post from Trump, in which he warned of possible new tariffs and suggested canceling a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, claiming Beijing was planning sweeping export controls on rare earth minerals.
"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 posted to Truth Social Friday afternoon.
"Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software."
In the Truth Social post, Trump argued that China has taken an "extremely aggressive" stance on global trade.
"It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them," Trump said.
