Trump said he was "considering all options," including tariffs and quotas, after he accused China of decimating the American steel and aluminium industries.
Washington has already imposed a range of tariffs on Chinese-made goods, sparking fears of a tit-for-tat trade war between the world's top two economies as China also threatens to take action.

He added that with the sheer volume of trade and integration between the US and Chinese economies, some friction was natural.
