Pakistan, Oct. 17 -- U.S. President Donald Trump admitted his proposed 100% tariffs on Chinese goods are not sustainable. However, he blamed China for the worsening trade situation. He said China forced his hand by tightening control over rare earth exports. Trump made these comments during an interview on Fox Business Network, aired Friday.

Last week, Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese exports to the U.S. He also introduced new export controls on critical software. These measures will begin on November 1, just before current tariff relief expires. Trump said the actions respond to China's aggressive move to expand rare earth export limits. These materials are vital for tech manufacturing.
