China commits to import at least 10 Mt/yr of US coal in 2027–28
صفقة مُبرمة – China
The White House announced a Chinese commitment to buy at least 10 million tonnes a year of US coal in 2027 and 2028. China's Commerce Ministry then added coal to its reciprocal tariff-reduction framework. The deal still needs domestic legal procedures in both countries.

What to do
This deal is done – use it as a buying signal. The buyer imports this product, often on a regular cycle, so competing suppliers can prepare for its next tender. The shipment itself will need vessels and freight, inspection and testing, cargo insurance, trade finance, port handling and customs services.
