US President Donald Trump has stated that he still intends to set 100% commercial customs duties on China on November 1.
"Yes, this is the case at the moment," he told reporters on the Middle East, when he was asked if he intended to set 100% customs duties on China. "We will see what will happen." At the same time, the American leader noted that there is still a lot of time before that date. "November 1 seems to be eternity for me," said the head of the White House.
On October 10, Trump announced that Washington will increase customs duties on Chinese goods by 100% before November 1, as well as reserves export control.
