President Donald Trump is poised to unveil sanctions against China for the "theft" of US intellectual property tomorrow, a White House official said, teeing up a second potential trade war in as many months.

Spokesman Raj Shah told AFP that Trump will announce actions following an "investigation into China's state-led, market-distorting efforts to force, pressure, and steal US technologies and intellectual property."
Beijing has already warned the Trump administration against the move, urging him not act "emotionally."
