The Trump administration is making official its decision to delay until March 1 a tariff hike on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25 percent from 10 percent, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A notice in the Federal Register is expected to be published on Friday, the people said. The decision cements an agreement reached Dec. 1 between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during a dinner on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Buenos Aires. The leaders agreed to postpone a further escalation in the tariff war for 90 days while they work out a trade deal. The tariff increase was initially planned for Jan. 1.

The White House didn’t immediately have a comment.

In the past two weeks, Beijing has pledged to remove retaliatory tariffs on U.S. automobiles, buy a significant amount of U.S. soybeans, go after intellectual property violators and scale back its strategy to dominate high-tech sectors in the next decade.

Still, Trump administration officials caution that China’s promises to date are not enough to break the impasse.

“They’ve started to make some very early stage, very preliminary, but very welcome moves,” Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told Bloomberg Television on Thursday, while adding that more action was needed to address U.S. concerns.
