China and the United States have agreed to cut tariffs imposed on $60 billion worth of goods imported from each other, including U.S. corn, cosmetics, Chinese household appliances, and toys. The two sides reached a deal for China to import at least 10 million metric tons a year of U.S. coal in both 2027 and 2028 (about 2% of China’s coal imports), which it can easily do as it imported more than 12 million tons in 2024 . China is the world’s largest coal producer, consumer, and importer,...
