The stock market fell Monday on some weak earnings reports, and some of the companies blamed the sagging China economy. With the tariff war dragging on and Wall Street growing tired of the drag, there is hope for some kind of deal at U.S.-China trade negotiations in Washington Wednesday and Thursday.  

But the plot thickened Monday with the United States charging Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei with, among other things, conspiring to steal trade secrets and to sidestep sanctions against Iran.
