Washington and Beijing agreed to temporarily lower tit-for-tat tariffs after talks in Geneva.

But Trump said on Friday that China had "totally violated its agreement with us". He did not give details but US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer later said China had not been removing non-tariff barriers as agreed under the deal.

Beijing's response on Friday did not address the US claims directly but urged the US to "cease discriminatory restrictions against China".

BAM! POW! Hitting them back... by not directly responding... They really slammed them!

Hollow claims deserve no more than a hollow rebuttal.

Trump said on Friday that China had “totally violated its agreement with us”. He did not give details

What is there to refute?

I'm just making fun of the combat headline. Im surprised no one has used "Country leader fires pew pew pew back at Other Country" yet.

Ah, fair. I guess some small point for showing enough restraint not to use the term "Slammed".
