White House Trade Discord Delaying China Tariffs

Updated on

China’s appetite for U.S. liquefied natural gas may be about to get a lot bigger after the two nations agreed to pull back from the brink of a trade war.

If China makes a substantial commitment to buying U.S. LNG, it could bring $30 billion back into the country, according to a Height Securities LLC report on Monday.
