不再加徵新關稅 中美貿易戰'停火'90天

US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping have agreed to halt new trade tariffs for 90 days to allow for talks, the US says.

美國方面表示，美國總統唐納德·特朗普和中國國家主席習近平已經同意暫停加徵新貿易關稅90天，以便進行談判。

The two men met in Buenos Aires after the G20 summit for their first talks since a trade war erupted this year.

在G20峯會後，兩人在布宜諾斯艾利斯會晤，這是自今年貿易戰爆發以來他們的首次會談。

China says they agreed not to impose any new trade tariffs after 1 January.

中國方面表示，他們同意在1月1日後不再徵收新貿易關稅。

Ahead of the G20, Mr Trump had told US media he expected to go ahead with plans to raise tariffs on $200bn of Chinese goods from 10% to 25%.

G20峯會之前，特朗普曾對美國媒體透露，他將繼續推進計劃，將對2000億美元中國商品加徵的關稅從10%提高到25%。

The White House says this move is now suspended for 90 days but adds, "If at the end of this period of time, the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the 10 percent tariffs will be raised to 25 percent."

白宮方面表示，現在此舉將暫停90天，但補充說，“如果在這段時間結束後，雙方無法達成協議，10%的關稅將會提高到25%。”

In return, the White House adds, China agreed to buy an unspecified but "very substantial" amount of agricultural, energy, industrial and other products.

白宮補充稱，中國同意購買數量不詳但“非常可觀”的農業、能源、工業和其它產品。

Chinese state TV said earlier: "No additional tariffs will be imposed after January 1, and negotiations between the two sides will continue."

中國國家電視臺早些時候報道稱：“1月1日後將不再徵收額外關稅，雙方的談判將繼續進行。”
