WASHINGTON (Reuters): US President Donald Trump revived the trade war against Beijing on Friday night, ending an uneasy truce between the two largest economies with promises to sharply hike tariffs in a reprisal against China, curbing its critical mineral exports.
The president unveiled additional levies of 100% on China's U.S.-bound exports, along with new export controls on "any and all critical software" by November 1, nine days before existing tariff relief is set to expire.
