He stated that this would entail “hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars coming into the United States,” adding that tariffs have maintained the U.S.’s national security.Earlier on Friday,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-china-tariffs-not-sustainable/ch6sBXPR38Q">President Trump said</a> that the tariff hikes on China are “not sustainable,” while stating that the latter forced him to levy those tariffs.

It’s got to be hair,” Trump said.Trade tensions between the two countries heightened last week after Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-threatens-massive-tariffs-against-china-over-rare-earth-export-controls/ch6ObacR3SD">posted</a> on Truth Social that the U.S. may impose 100% tariffs on China.

According to CNBC, the timing of the call and specific agenda items were not disclosed. 

President Donald Trump on Friday reportedly said that China “forced” him to levy tariffs on the latter, amid ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and its Chinese counterparts.According to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-17/trump-says-threatened-high-tariffs-on-china-not-sustainable">report</a> by Bloomberg citing a Fox Business interview, President Trump stated that there needs to be a fair deal with China, ahead of a meeting with President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea later this month.“I think we’re going to be fine with China, but we have to have a fair deal. It’s got to be fair,” he said in the interview, adding that he gets along well with President Xi.However, despite threatening a “massive” tariff hike against China, President Trump said it’s “not sustainable” when asked if these levies would remain in place without having a notable adverse impact on the U.S. economy. “But that’s what the number is, it’s probably not, you know, it could stand, but they forced me to do that,” he added, according to the report.Last week, President Trump said his administration is contemplating an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods coming into the U.S. He subsequently&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dow-futures-surge-after-trump-tempers-china-tariff-threat/ch6SLAPR3ka">softened</a> his stance, stating that it “will all be fine,” adding that the United States wants to help China, not hurt it.Meanwhile, U.S. equities were mixed in Friday’s opening trade.

Regional Banks’ Credit Concerns Drag Dow Futures: NVO, WAL, ZION, IBKR Among Stocks To Watch

While Dow Jones futures were down by 0.13% at the time of writing, the S&P 500 futures declined 0.41%.

Wall Street could have another down day on Friday, with index futures firmly in the red early Friday.&nbsp; Yet again, there would be little news flow on the economic front due to the ongoing government shutdown. The imminent release of key tech earnings over the next couple of weeks could prompt traders to take a defensive stance.&nbsp;Fund manager Louis Navellier flagged the shutdown and the China trade uncertainty as the two major issues weighing down on the market. Credit concerns have also emerged as another significant headwind following disclosures from a few banks on Thursday.&nbsp;As of 1 a.m. ET on Friday, the Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.51% and the S&amp;P 500 futures fell about 0.48%, and the Russell 2000 futures moved down a steeper 0.64%, while the Dow futures slipped a more modest 0.33%.The major averages fell moderately on Thursday amid a lack of any significant economic cues. Financials served as a big drag on the market after Zions Bancorp, a regional bank, disclosed a $50 million charge related to two commercial and industrial loans advanced by its California office, and its peer Western Alliance said it has sued Cantor for alleged fraud.&nbsp;Except for IT stocks, every other sector came under selling pressure amid the ongoing uncertainties.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> fell 0.68% and 0.37%, respectively, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)&nbsp;</a>ended down 0.68% The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IWM">iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)</a> slumped 2.11%, as small-caps, which have seen a nice run-up on rate cut hopes, experienced profit-taking amid signals of banking risks.&nbsp;Among the key earnings reports for the day are American Express (AXP), Comerica (CMA), Fifth Third (FITB), Regions Financial (RF), State Street (STT), Truist (TFC), Huntington Banc (HBAN), SLB (SLB), and Autoliv (ALV).Navellier said growth and momentum names led from the front amid the market volatility, with the fund manager confident of the trend remaining positive. He views the Federal Reserve’s rate cut and the end of the shutdown as near-term catalysts that can help the market take its next leg up.After ending Thursday’s session marginally higher, crude oil futures were marginally lower in the Asian session. The gold rally, which saw a let-up on Thursday, has resumed. On Thursday, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield broke below the 4% mark for the first time since early April and has fallen further early Friday. Falling bond yields reflect expectations that the central bank will lower rates. The U.S. dollar has weakened for a fourth straight session.&nbsp;The major Asian markets were swathed in a sea of red, as Wall Street’s dismal performance tempered risk appetite in the regional markets.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-csx-stock-rose-over-2-in-after-hours-trading/ch6rD5gR3FQ">Why CSX Stock Rose Over 2% In After-Hours Trading</a>
