Under the trade truce struck in May at a meeting in Geneva, the US lowered tariffs imposed on goods from China from 145% to 30%. China's retaliatory tariffs on US goods dropped from 125% to 10%.On Monday, Beijing said US violations of the agreement included stopping sales of computer chip design software to Chinese companies, warning against using chips made by Chinese tech giant Huawei, and cancelling visas for Chinese students.

The deal reached in Geneva came as a surprise to many analysts as it seemed that the two sides were incredibly far apart on many trade issues.This showed that during face-to-face talks Washington and Beijing can reach agreements.But as the rhetoric is once again ratcheting up, the fragility of the current truce has been highlighted and gives an indication of just how challenging it may be to reach a longer-term trade deal.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told ABC News that the two leaders are expected to talk this week and "both sides have expressed a willingness to talk".

"The bottom line is that we've got to be ready in case things don't happen the way we want," Hassett said of the expected talks.The National Trust had said the new piece would be on display throughout 2025.

The museum has 23 volunteers, but not all of them want to work as "meet and greeters".The situation meant it was unable to open on Friday last week.
