Investing.com-- Most Asian stocks fell on Monday as fears of a U.S.-China trade war escalation grew after President Donald Trump accused China of violating a recent trade deal, which Beijing rebuked. 

Markets were also rattled by Trump hiking steel and aluminum import tariffs, which left investors uncertain over U.S. policy.

Increased military action between Russia and Ukraine, ahead of peace talks, also weighed on sentiment, while reports suggested that Washington was considering trade tariffs aimed at China and India to reduce their buying of Russian oil.
