		</div><p>China has suspended punitive tariffs on more US goods including radar equipment for aviation amid pressure from President Donald Trump to buy more imports as part of a truce in their trade war.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Finance said tariff increases on 79 types of goods including radar sets, disinfectant and rare earths minerals would be suspended for one year starting on May 19.</p>
<p>Washington agreed in January to cancel additional tariff hikes and Beijing committed to buy more American farm exports.</p>
<p>US officials said China agreed to address complaints about its technology policies.</p>
<p>Mr Trump threatened on May 3 to terminate the agreement if China fails to buy more American goods.</p>
<p>The US president said earlier that Beijing agreed to buy 200 billion dollars (£162 billion) of American farm goods and other exports.</p>
<p>China resumed purchases of American soybeans but has yet to confirm the size of its commitment.</p>
<p>Mr Trump’s threat rekindled fears in financial markets of more US-Chinese conflict and potential disruption of global trade at a time when economies are reeling from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>The two sides have raised duties on tens of billions of dollars of each other’s imports in a dispute over China’s technology ambitions and trade surplus.</p>
<p>Slumping economic activity due to coronavirus has prompted suggestions China might be unable to carry out commitments to boost imports.</p>
<p>Last week, US and Chinese trade negotiators promised to create <i>“favourable conditions”</i> for carrying out the truce, China’s government announced.</p>
<p>The two sides gave no timeline for more talks.</p>
<p>Tuesday’s announcement was the third Chinese tariff cut since the January agreement.</p>
<p>Beijing announced on February 6 it would reduce duties on 75 billion dollars (£60 billion) of US goods.</p>
<p>It followed up by rolling back penalties on a list of goods that included medical and industrial machinery.</p>
