Washington DC: US President Donald Trump stated that Washington would continue with their plans to impose a 155 per cent tariff on Chinese goods imported into the US beginning November 1, despite expressing his desire to maintain amicable ties with Beijing.<\/p>\n
Responding to a question by ANI if tariffs would be considered on China, as it is still Russia\u2019s largest oil importer, the US President said, \u201cRight now, as of November 1st, China will have about 155 per cent tariffs put on it. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s sustainable for them.\u201d
\nTrump said while he personally wishes to maintain friendly relations with China, years of one-sided economic dealings have left the US with no choice but to take firm action.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be nice to China. But China has been very rough with us over the years because we had presidents that weren\u2019t smart from a business standpoint\u2026 They allowed China and every other country to take advantage of us,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
The US President noted that his earlier trade deals with the European Union, Japan and South Korea were built on tariffs, which he considers a tool for \u201cnational security\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI made a deal with the European Union. I made a deal with Japan and South Korea. A lot of these deals are great deals. It\u2019s about national security. I was able to do it because of tariffs. We\u2019re getting hundreds of billions, even trillions, of dollars paid into the United States\u2026 We\u2019ll start paying off debt,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s announcement underscores the intensifying \u201csecondary tariff\u201d strategy that Washington is deploying against countries perceived to be indirectly aiding Russia\u2019s war efforts in Ukraine through its energy trade.<\/p>\n
While previous measures targeted India, where a 50 per cent tariff was imposed for Russian oil imports, this move conveys a broader escalation toward China, the world\u2019s largest importer of Russian crude.<\/p>\n
Earlier, also Trump, in a post on Truth Social, announced an additional 100 per cent tariff on Chinese goods \u201cover and above any tariff that they are currently paying\u201d, effective November 1.<\/p>\n
The US President noted that the decision was taken after what he described as China taking \u201can extraordinarily aggressive position on trade\u201d by sending \u201can extremely hostile letter to the world\u201d.<\/p>\n
He also said that export controls will be placed on all critical software starting the same day.<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the USA, and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1, 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 1, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software,\u201d his post read.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has just been learnt 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 1, 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,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
