# American president Donald Trump has threatened the US will impose an additional 100% tariff on China imports, accusing it of taking an “extraordinarily aggressive position” on trade. In a post to his Truth Social platform yesterday, the US president said Beijing had sent an extremely hostile letter to the world and imposed large-scale export controls on virtually every product they make. Mr Trump, who warned the additional tariffs would start on 1 November, said the US would also impose export controls on all critical software to China.
