China rejected U.S. claims that it violated a tariff deal, calling the accusations "bogus" and "unfounded." The U.S. had agreed to temporarily lower tariffs in a 90-day deal, but U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accused China of slow-walking the agreement. Beijing countered, stating it had upheld its side of the deal, and criticized U.S. actions like export controls and visa restrictions. China urged the U.S. to correct its actions and warned of further measures if necessary.
