US President Donald Trump announced sweeping new trade penalties against China, declaring a 100% tariff on all Chinese goods—on top of existing duties—effective November 1, 2025, or sooner if Beijing takes further “aggressive” actions. He also revealed plans to impose export controls on all critical software beginning the same day. Posting on Truth Social, Trump accused China of taking an “extraordinarily aggressive” stance by allegedly sending a hostile letter to nations worldwide, outlining intentions to impose massive export restrictions on nearly every product made in China—and even some not produced there.

Calling the move “a moral disgrace” and “unheard of in international trade,” Trump warned that China’s actions would have sweeping global consequences, impacting “all countries, without exception.” The announcement signals a dramatic escalation in U.S.–China trade tensions and could significantly disrupt global markets.
