(Bloomberg) -- China sought talks with the US at the World Trade Organization after President Donald Trump cited a national emergency and imposed 10% tariffs on all Chinese imports.

As promised earlier this week, Beijing filed for dispute consultation discussions at the Geneva-based trade body. The document circulated Wednesday said the US’s moves targeting China’s products were “imposed on the basis of unfounded and false allegations.”

“The measures at issue not only violate WTO rules, but are discriminatory and protectionist in nature,” the statement said.
