President Trump announced Friday he will raise tariffs on China in response to a move from Beijing to tighten its control over certain critical minerals and rare earth elements. Trump announced on Truth Social that he would impose a tariff of 100 percent on Chinese goods beginning Nov. 1 or sooner. Those tariffs will supersede existing duties already in place on Chinese goods. The president said his administration would also place export controls "on any and all critical software." "It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History," Trump posted.

... President Donald Trump signaled a full-blown trade battle with China will not be happening on Sunday, insisting the United States "wants to help" its global rival and that he respects President Xi Jinping.

The president shared his latest thoughts on trade with China in a Truth Social post around lunchtime:

"Don't worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn't want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT"

His update comes two days after the president said he would be slapping a new 100% tariff on China, on top of the 30% tariffs already in place, starting Nov. 1. ...

Every time Trump announces tariffs it's in order to manipulate the stock market.

Every. Time.

Rinse. Repeat.

Meanwhile. All he's really doing is making America unstable, losing trade partners and allies.

How do you control a nation? You throw it into chaos.

Everything Trump and his administration have done since January has been to create chaos.
