  "account": "Chinese state oil giant CNOOC believes there exists potential for energy cooperation between China and the United States, according to its CEO Huang Yongzhang, who made the statement on Thursday. This optimism comes after CNOOC reported its half-year results, during which Huang also mentioned that the company would collaborate with partners, including those in the U.S., to invest in projects that could yield value for shareholders.\n\nHistorically, China was a purchaser of U.S. oil and gas until the imposition of tariffs during the trade war last year. Although relations have since improved, tariffs are still in place, and the energy trade remains largely frozen. During President Donald Trump's visit to Beijing in May, U.S. officials mentioned the possibility of energy deals, which included China's potential purchase of more liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, as of now, no deals have been finalized.\n\nAccording to Huang Yongzhang, there is still considerable room for cooperation in the future between the U.S., the world's largest producer and exporter of LNG, and China, the largest importer of LNG. CNOOC Ltd CEO noted these possibilities without providing specifics on any agreements. The company is among several Chinese energy firms that have long-term supply deals with U.S. LNG producers, which are currently reselling the cargoes to avoid tariffs.",
