Foreign media: Trump has tried to support the U.S. coal industry through measures such as relaxing regulations and opening federal lands for mining, but his trade policies have led to a stagnation in U.S. coal exports to China, resulting in a 14% decline in total U.S. coal exports.
Although U.S. coal production has increased due to rising natural gas prices, the blockage of exports has still affected the industry. China has stopped importing U.S. coal since April, causing significant impact on the U.S. coal export market.
Although China is not the main destination for U.S. coal exports, the ban has still had a significant impact on overall exports.
