Washington, Oct. 16 -- US President Donald Trump has announced new trade measures against China, vowing to impose an additional 100 per cent tariff on all Chinese imports and strict export controls on US-made critical software starting November 1 - a move that could escalate tensions between the world's two largest economies.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Beijing of taking an extraordinarily aggressive position on trade and warned that the United States will respond in kind.

"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 announced.
