In response to President Trump’s claim, China said the United States was the one introducing a series of “discriminatory restrictive measures.”

China on Monday countered President Donald Trump's earlier remarks that the country had violated the trade truce struck between Washington and Beijing last month in Geneva, saying the U.S. had introduced measures that "seriously undermine" their deal.

China accused the US of violating their recent trade deal and vowed to take measures to defend its interests, dimming the prospect of an immediate leadership call that Donald Trump wants to have to further bilateral talks.
