The trade truce between the U.S. and China?

Yeah, it is on shaky ground.

From Marketplace, I'm Sabri Beneshore in for David Brancaccio.

Tensions are once again escalating between the world's two largest economies.

Last week, President Trump accused China of violating the terms of the trade truce between the two countries,

with the U.S. trade representative

Today, China accused the U.S. of violating the agreement with new restrictions on the export of

U.S. computer chips. The BBC's Laura Bicker has more.

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

seriously undermine the consensus reached in Geneva. And if the U.S. insists on its own way,

China will take forceful measures to safeguard its interests, it added.

That said, the non-alcoholic stuff still only has about 2% market share compared to loggers 92%.

Marketplace's Samantha Fields has more.

It used to be if you wanted a non-alcoholic beer, there weren't a whole lot of options,

and they didn't really taste like beer.
