The article discusses the possibility of China resuming imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States after a halt since February 2025, which resulted from Beijing imposing a 15% tariff on American imports in response to U.S. sanctions on Russia. It points out that China was the biggest importer of American LNG, with contractual commitments amounting to approximately 14 million tons annually, valued at nearly $6 billion. There is potential for increased demand if spot market shipments are restored. The article examines negotiations between Washington and Beijing regarding the reduction of tariffs, which could revive shipment flows and bolster American export projects—especially as U.S. LNG exports have expanded by 60% since 2021. It also notes that sanctions on Russia might pose a barrier to this progress, given that Russian shipments continue to be directed toward the Chinese market.
