When President Donald J. Trump and General Secretary Xi Jinping meet to discuss trade next month, liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be front and center of their discussion. The synergy is there: it seems that no trade war is strong enough to drive a wedge between the world’s fastest growing LNG exporter and the world’s fasting growing LNG importer. Cheniere Energy Inc. (NYSE:LNG) and Sinopec (NYSE:SNP) are likely to solidify the impressive LNG supply agreement as part of a broader U.S. trade deal with China. The conclusion of the U.S.-China trade war is anything but certain. If the end of the trade war is in sight, it may be energy that finally brings us there.
