US President Donald Trump has once again adopted a tough stance against China and announced the imposition of 100% additional tariff on all Chinese imports from November 1, 2025. Along with this, he has also announced to implement export control on important software made in America.
This move comes at a time when trade and geopolitical tensions are already heightened between the world’s two largest economies. Experts believe that if this policy is implemented, it can seriously affect the global markets.
Trump’s allegation – China is holding the global economy hostage
Trump made a scathing attack on China while posting on his social media platform Truth Social. He wrote that China has adopted an unusually aggressive stance in trade and this will affect all countries. Trump claimed that China is planning to impose export restrictions on most of its products, which is creating imbalance in the global market. In response, Trump said that now America will also take equally strict steps. He announced that from November 1 we will impose 100% additional tariffs on China. This will be in addition to their existing tariff.
What will be the effect of Trump’s tariffs?
Tariff means tax imposed on goods imported by a country. When the tariff on a foreign product is increased, its price also increases. This reduces the demand for foreign goods and gives domestic industries a competitive edge, but Trump’s move can also have negative effects. Consumer goods will be expensive in America. Prices may increase in sectors like electronics, automobile, mobile and electric vehicle (EV). Apart from this, the supply chain between America and China may also be affected.
Declaration of control on software export
Trump also announced that from November 1, the US will impose export controls on critical software. This means that the sale of artificial intelligence (AI), data security, military technology or industrial software to China will be limited. Experts say that this step can have a big impact on China’s tech companies, electric vehicle manufacturers and defense industry. This is also being considered a strategic step towards maintaining American technological edge.
What did experts say on the tariff?
Economic experts say that this policy of Trump is not only an economic but also a political strategy. Ahead of the 2025 elections, he is presenting himself as a staunch supporter of the America First policy. According to Dr. Alexander Mitchell, an expert at a Washington-based think tank, this is a sign of Trump’s new trade war strategy. Their objective is to save domestic industries and reduce dependence on China. However, he also warned that if China retaliates by imposing sanctions on American goods, it will affect the entire global economy.
Diplomatic tension and meeting canceled
This step of Trump has come at a time when he had planned to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping a few days ago, but now he has indicated to cancel this meeting. Trump said that when China increased controls on the export of rare earth elements, it held the entire global economy hostage. These rare metals play an important role in the manufacturing of electronics, EV batteries and defense equipment and China holds about 80% share in this market.
