Washington and Beijing discuss LNG tariffs ahead of Xi visit

Washington and Beijing are currently seeking to reduce or eliminate China's tariffs on U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG), as part of a broader plan that includes lowering tariffs on goods worth approximately $30 billion, aiming to strengthen trade relations and achieve stability ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington. In February 2025, China imposed a 15% tariff on U.S. gas imports in response to previous tariffs imposed by Trump, which led to a halt in gas trade between the two countries. However, current discussions indicate the possibility of restoring cooperation in this vital sector, with expectations of increased U.S. natural gas exports and expanded export facilities in the United States by 2027, to stimulate demand and mitigate disruptions in global energy flows.
