难怪特朗普急着访华，中美贸易数据送进白宫，6月份，中国没有从美国进口哪怕一滴原油，天然气和煤炭也全线清零。特朗普自然坐不住了，一边放话要 谈合作，一边急着安排行程。曾经高高在上的"关税施压者"，如今成了想尽办法"上门推销"的能源卖家。 这下子，美国的能源商、运输商、炼化厂，甚至相关的设备制造商，全都叫苦连天。 中国海关总署6月公布的数据显示，当月美国对中国的原油出口为"零"。不止如此，液化天然气（LNG）和煤炭这两个美国能源出口的主力项目，也同样交 出了"挂零"答卷。 这可是天翻地覆的变化。在2023年同期，美国向中国出口的原油贸易额高达8亿美元，LNG和煤炭合计也有数亿美元的体量，对于美国能源商来说，中国是 块实打实的"金字招牌"。 而如今，这扇门突然关上了，美国能源企业瞬间被拍在沙滩上。尤其是LNG出口，已经连续4个月没有一艘船驶往中国港口。 细看美国对华能源出口总额，2024年全年，总值超过320亿美元，占到美国对华出口总额的20%左右，而如今半年不到，这个巨大的市场说没就没了，损失 估算超过150亿美元。 而对于特朗普来说，这一连串"归零"的数字，不仅是经济上的打击，更是政治上的难堪。当年他挥舞"关税 ...
