Trump Imposes 100% Tariff on All Chinese Imports, Sparking Trade Tensions

President Donald Trump has taken a dramatic step to counter China’s export controls by announcing a 100% tariff on all imported goods from the nation starting November 1, 2025. This escalation in trade tensions comes after China imposed restrictions on critical technology products including rare earth elements. The move aims to directly challenge China’s export policies and impact global markets, with potential ramifications for commodity prices and financial stability.
