Imports from China already face taxes at the border of at least 10%, after a Trump tariff order that went into effect earlier this month.

China's ministry of foreign affairs said it "strongly" expressed its "dissatisfaction and resolute opposition" to the plans.

Trump also said on Thursday he intended to move forward with threatened 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, which are set to come into effect on 4 March.

Trump's comments came as officials from Mexico and Canada were in Washington for discussions aimed at heading off that plan.
