U.S. President Donald Trump stated in a statement following the announcement of a 100% tariff on China that the U.S. aims to help, not harm, China. In his statement, Trump said, "Don't worry about China, everything will be fine. Respectable President Xi just had a bad moment."

US President Donald Trump stated, "The US wants to help China, not harm it," following the announcement of a 100% tariff on China.

After announcing that a 100% tariff would be imposed on China starting November 1, US President Donald Trump made a new post.

In a statement made through his social media account, Trump said, "Don't worry about China, everything will be fine. Honorable President Xi is just going through a tough time. He does not want his country to fall into an economic crisis, and neither do I. The US wants to help China, not harm it."

In a recent statement, President Trump indicated that China would implement extensive export controls on almost all products they produce, even some that are not produced by them, sending an extremely "hostile" letter and displaying an extraordinarily aggressive stance on trade.

Trump noted that this affects all countries without exception and is a plan that has been designed years in advance, stating, "This is something absolutely unheard of in international trade and a moral disgrace in relations with other countries."

Trump stated, "We will impose a 100% tariff on the tariffs currently paid to China. Additionally, we will implement export controls on all critical software starting November 1."
