BEIJING, September 29, 2026: China is set to resume substantial purchases of U.S. coal after the latest Xi Jinping-Donald Trump summit, with an agreement covering at least 10 million tonnes a year for the next two years, according to the South China Morning Post.
The coal arrangement is among the economic understandings reached during the leaders’ meeting in Washington. South China Morning Post reported that China would buy at least 10 million tonnes of U.S. coal in each of 2027 and 2028.
Energy trade returns to focus
Coal has been an important commodity in China-U.S. trade, particularly for power generation and industrial users. The renewed purchases could create additional business for U.S. coal exporters while giving Chinese buyers another source of supply.
Part of wider trade talks
The coal agreement comes alongside reciprocal tariff reductions on non-sensitive goods and the extension of broader trade discussions. Read NewsNationOnline’s report on the tariff lists.
What remains unresolved
The coal arrangement does not resolve the wider differences between the two economies, including disputes involving advanced technology, rare earths and other strategic sectors.
