President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States would impose new tariffs of 100% on imports from China “over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying,” starting on Nov. 1.
Trump also said that the U.S., on that same date, would also impose export controls on “any and all critical software.”
The president’s announcement came hours after he threatened to slap “a massive increase” of tariffs on Chinese imports in retaliation for new controls that China imposed on exports of rare earths minerals from that nation.
Around 70% of the global supply of rare earths minerals comes from China. The minerals are essential for high-tech industries, including automobiles, defense and semiconductors.
Trump suggested earlier Friday that he would cancel a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea because of China’s new controls.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-...es-ambassador/China will remove canola tariffs if Canada scraps EV levies: ambassador
China will remove its tariffs on Canadian agriculture — including on canola products — if Canada scraps its levies on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), that country’s ambassador says.
“If Canada removes the unilateral unjustified tariffs on Chinese products, China will also reciprocate accordingly,” Wang Di said through a translator in an exclusive interview with CTV Question Period airing Sunday. “And if the EV tariffs are removed, then China will also remove the tariffs on the relevant products of Canada.”
Canada has had 100 per cent tariffs on all EVs imported from China since last October, following the United States’ lead. It was a move aimed at protecting domestic manufacturing and national security, according to the federal government at the time.
The previous government also said at the time that China engages in the unfair subsidization of its EV industry, which allows it to flood the market with its product.
Canada also has 25 per cent tariffs in place on Chinese steel and aluminum.
China has since levied tariffs of its own on Canadian agriculture, including notably on canola products, with a 100 per cent tariff on Canadian canola oil and meal and a 75.8 per cent tariff on canola seed.

domestic spirits exports taking it on the chin
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-...2025-9.6933236American spirit exports to Canada "plummeted" 85 per cent in the second quarter of 2025, with the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States calling the situation "very troubling" as consumers in key international markets opt for alternatives to U.S.-made products amid trade tensions.
The numbers come as American alcohol largely remains off Canadian shelves and unavailable in bars and restaurants as a response to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian goods in early March.
In a report issued earlier this week, the council said exports to the U.K. and Japan fell 29 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively, but the largest decrease was in Canada. These countries, along with the European Union, accounted for 70 per cent of U.S. spirit exports in 2024.
The council represents producers of spirits such as whisky, vodka, rum and brandy.
"This shift may reflect a broader sentiment that U.S.-imposed tariffs are unfair, prompting consumers to support their domestic industries or seek non-U.S. products in response," the council wrote in a report, noting that sales to Canada had dropped below $10 million US in the second quarter.

https://electrek.co/2025/10/27/canad...electric-cars/Canada is rumored to immently remove tariffs on Chinese electric cars
Canada is rumored to remove tariffs on Chinese electric cars soon, as Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this week.
This would likely lead to the biggest shake-up in the EV space in North America after the US killing its EV incentives.
Last year, Canada followed the US in imposing 100% tariffs on electric vehicles coming from China.
In hindsight, it was a short-sighted move as it mainly helped the US auto industry while the US government quickly turned hostile on trade with its northern neighbor.
With little progress in trade negotiations with the US, there has been an expectation that Canada would reverse its tariffs on Chinese EVs.
Rumors have been increasing lately amid new developments.
First off, President Trump announced last weekend that he had shut down trade talks with Canada because he was upset that Ontario ran ads featuring President Reagan criticizing tariffs. He suggested that this was inaccurate and the Canadian province might even have used AI to fake the comments. That’s false. Reagan did dislike tariffs, and the video was legitimate.
On the Canadian side, Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with President Xi Jinping this week at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in South Korea.
There are rumors that the two countries might use the opportunity to sign new trade deals.
In China, the rumors point to the country removing restrictions on Canadian canola and pork in exchange for Canada eliminating tariffs on Chinese EVs.
