October 14, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited trade uncertainty with a new threat that the U.S. was considering a 100 percent tariff on Chinese goods as of 1 November.
Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social that China took an “extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade” and that the U.S. would respond with 100 percent tariffs on China, over and above any current tariff, as of 1 November. Trump said the move was in response to a letter sent by China saying that it would impose export controls on its products.
