WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Trade Representative’s office on Friday filed a Federal Register notice suspending the 15% U.S. tariffs slated to go into effect on Sunday on Chinese goods worth about $160 billion after reaching a “phase one” trade deal with Beijing.
The notice said that the Dec. 15 tariffs were “suspended indefinitely.” The move provides formal notice of the decision on Friday not to proceed with the tariffs.
