China has agreed to purchase at least 10 million metric tons of coal from the United States in both 2027 and 2028, according to the White House, following President Donald Trump’s three-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington.

The coal commitment was included in a series of agreements reached as the two countries work to reduce trade tensions and expand economic cooperation. The White House said the deal was reached through the newly operational U.S.-China Board of Trade.

The agreement comes as the Trump administration has made expanding U.S. coal production and exports a priority. Coal remains a major source of energy in the United States, particularly for electricity generation and industrial activity, while China remains heavily dependent on coal for its energy needs.

The two countries also agreed to pursue more favorable tariff treatment for $30 billion of non-sensitive goods moving in each direction. U.S. products covered by the arrangement include agricultural goods, seafood, timber, cosmetics and medical devices, while Chinese products include small appliances, toys, holiday decorations and children's car seats.

Washington and Beijing also established an agricultural trade working group to address market-access barriers, while continuing discussions over supply-chain concerns involving rare earths and other critical minerals.

The agreements followed Trump's meeting with Xi during the Chinese president's state visit to Washington. The summit also produced agreements involving artificial intelligence communications, military crisis communications and the continuation of broader trade discussions.

The White House's coal announcement represents a significant export commitment for U.S. producers, with China set to purchase at least 20 million metric tons of American coal over the two years covered by the agreement.
