Donald Trump announced he will impose an additional 100% tariff on goods from China, on top of the 30% tariffs already in effect, starting November 1 or sooner. The threat is a massive escalation after months of a trade truce between the two nations.
Trump’s announcement is tied to Beijing ramping up export controls on its critical rare earths, which are needed to produce many electronics. As a result, Trump appeared to call off a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping that was scheduled for later this month in South Korea.
The headline makes it sound like the US trade war ever abated in the first place. But that’s fine America. The rest of us just love to get pissed on constantly. Don’t worry about it.
Or alternatively you could take steps to unfuck your shit, but that’s none of our business.
