President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that his top issues with China are related to rare earths, fentanyl and soybeans, according to Bloomberg News. "I don't want them to play the rare earth game with us," Trump reportedly said.

Earlier in the month, Trump threatened to impose additional 100% tariffs on Chinese goods as well as export controls on critical software, effective Nov. 1, in response to China's move to restrict exports of rare earths minerals. Trump admitted in a recent interview with Fox Business that the tariff rate is "not sustainable," and said that "we're going to do fine with China."

On Friday, Trump approved a 25% tariff on all imports of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and parts, and 10% on buses, effective Nov. 1, according to a statement from the White House.
