US President Donald Trump on Monday warned that his administration could impose tariffs as high as 155% on Chinese imports starting November 1 if a new trade deal is not reached.

Speaking at the White House during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Trump said Beijing has been “very respectful" of Washington despite ongoing trade tensions and is already paying “tremendous amounts of money" through existing duties.

“I think China’s been very respectful of us. They are paying tremendous amounts of money to us in the form of tariffs. As you know, they are paying 55 per cent; that’s a lot of money," he said.

The US President added that several nations had taken advantage of the United States in the past, but such practices would no longer be tolerated. “A lot of countries took advantage of the US and they are not able to take advantage anymore. China’s paying 55 per cent and a potential 155 per cent come November 1st unless we make a deal," Trump warned.
