US exporters spy opportunity in trade talk

摘要

US companies hoping to build the next wave of LNG export terminals foresee a golden ticket in President Donald Trump's drive to reduce the US' trade deficits with other countries. The firms have to secure customers in Japan, South Korea, China and other LNG importing countries before they can attract financing and begin construction. They have tailored their marketing pitches beyond the business case as a result, focusing on how purchasing their supply would trim the trade deficits that Trump has threatened to cut through steep tariffs.
