China Gas and Venture Global signed a 20-year LNG supply agreement, signaling continued energy cooperation despite broader trade tensions. The deal precedes the Xi-Trump summit but was not mentioned in official communiqués, suggesting it may be a commercial hedge or goodwill gesture. This strengthens US-China energy ties and could influence trade negotiations.
US LNG export capacity is being secured through new long-term supply agreements with both European and Chinese buyers. Shell and MET Group confirmed a multi-year deal for US LNG to Europe, while China Gas and Venture Global confirmed a 20-year agreement, indicating sustained global demand for US natural gas.
