China pushes back after Trump accuses Beijing of ‘totally’ violating trade deal: ‘Contrary to the facts’

China has rejected President Donald Trump’s accusation that it violated a trade agreement recently announced in Geneva, Switzerland.

On Monday, Chinese officials responded to comments Trump made over the weekend that accused Beijing of failing to meet the terms established in a deal reached last month. The United States is the one cheating on the trade deal, and the president’s remarks are unfairly attempting to “turn the tables,” according to the Chinese Commerce Ministry. It released a statement ahead of an expected phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this week.
