“The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Friday, prompting China to accuse the president of similar behavior.
Last month, the countries reached an agreement to scale back tariffs that reached more than 100%. The U.S. and China have been engaged in a months-long trade standoff that has unsettled markets.

Other major coins are roughly flat over the last day, including Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. Stocks are ticking upward as the trading day continues, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both in the green following earlier dips into the red.
