And export controls on all critical software.
The US is imposing 100% duties on goods from China and export controls on all critical software.
The announcement was made on the Truth Social by US President Donald Trump.
The new restrictions will take effect on November 1, 2025, or sooner if China "takes further aggressive steps" in trade policy.
The United States will also impose export controls on all critical software on November 1.
Trump said the decision was in response to Beijing's "extremely aggressive stance".
"It has just been revealed that China has taken an extremely aggressive stance on trade, sending the world an extremely hostile letter in which it says it will impose sweeping export controls on virtually all products made by it, as well as on some products not made by it, beginning November 1, 2025," the memo reads.
Trump noted that this affects all countries without exception and is apparently a plan that China developed years ago.
"This is absolutely unheard of in international trade and is a moral disgrace in dealing with other countries," he wrote.
Trump emphasized that Washington will impose the 100 percent tariffs solely on behalf of the United States, without expecting similar actions from other nations.
"It's impossible to believe that China could go to such lengths, but they did, and the rest is history," he noted.
Trump's likely meeting with Xi Jinping
Donald Trump previously wrote that his meeting with Chinese leader Si Jinping was "not necessary," precisely because of Chinese letters to other countries about export controls.
"Very strange things are happening in China! They are getting extremely hostile and sending letters to countries all over the world stating their intention to impose export controls on all elements of rare earth metal production and just about anything else you can think of, even if it's not made in China," Trump wrote.
He said such a move could block markets and create hardship for virtually every country.
On Oct. 2, Trump said his meeting with Xi Jinping could take place in a month.
He noted that soybeans should be the main topic of discussion because China "solely for trade reasons" refuses to buy them from U.S. farmers.
