Media caption, Watch: 'It was shocking', Trump says of China's tightened export rules for rare earthsByNatalie ShermanBusiness reporterPublished10 October 2025 US President Donald Trump has said he would impose an additional 100% tariff on imports from China from next month. In a post on social media, Trump said the US would also put export controls on critical software. In an earlier post on Friday, he hit back at Beijing's move this week to tighten its rules for exports of rare earths, accusing China of "becoming very hostile" and trying to hold the world "captive". He threatened to pull out of a meeting with China's President Xi Jinping. He later said he had not cancelled it, but that he did not know "that we're going to have it". "I'm going to be there regardless," he told reporters at the White House.
