Yes let's get our facts straight--Besides Canada and Mexico that get LNG from us via pipeline very few of our LNG customers are larger than China

We exported in May 94,797 million cubic feet of LNG. China took 10.9% of it. No EU country took any significant quantity.

Yes it is foolish of China to tariff LNG just as it is foolish of the US to tariff their products.

Trade wars are foolish. There are no winners. NONE. ZIP. ZERO.

Trump needs to quit listening to the neocon John Bolton and should simply drop ALL tariffs and the let the other countries do as they wish. Let them continue to tariff us if they want too. It is a stupid policy to have tariffs. It is a stupid policy to subsidize industries like we do agriculture and the Chinese do aluminum but there will always be stupidity. We should stop playing tit for tat with these countries and simply declare ourselves a free trade country.

Here are just a few of our LNG exports.

2017 LNG Annual Exports (Volumes in Million Cu Ft)

Argentina 16,276
Brazil 17,648
Canada 917,087
Chile 25,746
China 103,410
Domenican Republic 8,691
India 20,919
Japan 53,218
Jordan 36,321
Kuwait 20,213
Mexico 1,543,056
South Korea 130,185
Spain 29,329
Turkey 24,855

2,460,144 volumes of LNG exported in 2017. China's share, 4.2%. I'd say we are at a much stronger bargaining position than China is, especially with their market on a tumble right now. Why are you so adamant for the US to constantly being screwed in trade? Is it TDS or do you just hate prosperity?

Holy shite you are just chasing your tail now and too stupid to realize it. You are back at square one son!
