The U.S. will begin imposing new tariffs on imports from China in response to the country’s plans to implement export controls on numerous goods, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday.
Effective Nov. 1, the 100% levies will stack on the combined duties to which goods from China are already subject, per Trump. The president also said he would impose export controls on critical software the same day but did not provide additional details.
Trump said he is imposing the new tariffs because China plans to “impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make.”
