“Breakup on Karwa Chauth” – A Viral Moment in U.S.-China Relations
On October 10, 2025, which coincided with Karwa Chauth, U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by threatening a “breakup” with China, sparking a wave of memes and reactions online. The timing of his announcement — a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1 — led Indian netizens to humorously label it a “Breakup on Karwa Chauth”.
Social media was abuzz with jokes and memes, drawing parallels between the traditional Indian festival — where married women fast for their husbands’ long lives — and Trump’s aggressive stance against China. One user quipped, “Breakup on Karwa Chauth! Trump really knows how to pick his moments.”
💼 U.S. Imposes 100% Tariff on Chinese Imports
In a major escalation of the U.S.-China trade war, President Trump announced a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports, effective November 1, 2025. This move comes in response to China’s decision to impose export controls on rare earth elements, which are critical for U.S. industries like tech and defense.
Trump also stated that the U.S. would implement export controls on critical software, further intensifying tensions. Financial markets reacted sharply, with the S&P 500 dropping 2.7% and the Nasdaq falling 3.6%.
