(Reuters) -The United States of America will slap an additional 100% tariff on imports from China and impose export controls on all critical U.S.-made software from November 1, President Donald Trump said on Friday.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "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."
