US-China trade war seems to have triggered again after months of thaw. In a long-message posted on social media platform, Truth Social, Donald Trump, said the United States would impose new tariffs of 100% on imports from China “over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying”. The post comes amid fresh tensions between the two countries. China recently tightened its rare earth magnet export controls, expanding restrictions on processing technology and spelling out its intention to limit exports to overseas defence and semiconductor users.The President also set a deadline for banning software exports to China. “Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software,” wrote Trump. It is not clear what exactly these ‘critical software’ will entail. According to a report in Reuters, quoting experts, restrictions on US software shipments to China could be a massive blow to the country’s tech industry, including cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

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. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, 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. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!DONALD J. TRUMPPRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
