据BBC的报道,两国同意从2019年1月1日起不再强制征收新的关税。
特朗普在前往G20峰会之前,曾告诉美国媒体他准备增加2000亿美元中国货品的关税,包括在9月1日提到的那批,这些货品的关税将从10%提高到25%,从明年1月开始。
白宫表示,这项措施将暂停90天执行,如果90天之后双方不能达成协议,10%的关税将被提高到25%。
作为回报,中国政府同意购买美国的农业、能源、工业以及其他产品,具体数量没有明确,但量“相当大”。
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.
The two men met in Buenos Aires after the G20 summit for their first talks since a trade war erupted this year.
China says they agreed not to impose any new trade tariffs after 1 January.
At the summit earlier on Saturday, the G20 leaders agreed a joint declaration that notes divisions over trade but does not criticise protectionism.
What was agreed?
Ahead of the G20, Mr Trump had told US media he expected to go ahead with plans to raise tariffs on $200bn (£157bn) of Chinese goods - first introduced in September - from 10% to 25%, starting in January.
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."
In return, the White House adds, China agreed to buy an unspecified but "very substantial" amount of agricultural, energy, industrial and other products.

How did Trump sum up the talks?
Returning from the G20 summit on Air Force One, Mr Trump told reporters "it's an incredible deal" that would have an "incredibly positive impact on farming".
"What I'd be doing is holding back on tariffs. China will be opening up. China will be getting rid of tariffs," Mr Trump said.
Analysis
Stephen McDonell, BBC China correspondent in Beijing
China has pretty much given up nothing in this deal because the future tariffs threatened from the Beijing side were retaliatory in nature and only to be applied if the United State escalated.
For this it has gained a 90-day reprieve, during which time both sides have pledged to ramp up talks.
When China's Foreign Minster Wang Yi spoke to reporters after the meeting he said the two leaders had agreed to open up each other's markets and that this process could lead to the resolution of "legitimate" US concerns.
This was either an acknowledgment that Washington does have legitimate concerns or a way of differentiating those American concerns which are reasonable from those which are not actually "legitimate".
This is not a suspension of the trade war but a suspension of the escalation of the trade war.
Big questions remain about the preparedness of Beijing to allow international access to this enormous market to a level that would satisfy the Trump administration prompting a complete halt in the trade war.
