China, US agree no new tariffs ‘after January 1’: Chinese media
BUENOS AIRES, Dec 2, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The United States and China agreed
Saturday in a long-anticipated summit to hold off on new tariffs after
January 1, Chinese state media said following a monthslong trade war.
The China Daily and Chinese international broadcaster CGTN both said
President Donald Trump and his counterpart Xi Jinping agreed to halt tariffs
“after January 1” — when Washington has been set to impose $200 billion in
new tariffs.
The White House did not immediately comment on the outcome of the meeting
on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, but senior Trump adviser
Larry Kudlow said that it went “very well.”
