China will suspend additional tariffs on certain imports from the U.S., according to the Ministry of Finance.

China’s finance ministry said Sunday it will not implement tariffs planned to start on Dec. 15 and will continue to suspend tariffs on vehicles and auto parts from the U.S.

(Corrects to remove wrong calculation of the total of tariffs being suspended in second paragraph.)
