Abstract SinoLatin America energy cooperation makes an important part of SinoLatin America economic cooperation, which foresees broad prospects while faces many challenges at the same time. Among them, the influence of the US in Latin America constitutes one of the many challenges that cannot be overlooked. After Trump took power, the US energy policy, compared with the previous administration, has changed significantly, which includes: promoting the development of the energy industry, deregulating the energy industry, revising conditions on energy trade and reducing energyrelated budget. These changes in policies may affect key issues of energy relations between the US and Latin America, such as trade, investment, integration, clean energy, and emission reduction cooperation. Against the backdrop of continuous changes in the global energy landscape, China and Latin America energy relations are currently undergoing a period of adjustment after the peak period. At present, the transformation of the US energy policy to some extent happens to provide a series of new opportunities for deepening ChinaLatin America energy cooperation. Opportunities include increasing Latin Americas energy supply to China, promoting diversification of China's investment and finance in Latin American energy industry, and creating new space for ChinaLatin America energy diplomacy and cooperation on global climate governance. China should seize the opportunity and take advantage of the impact of changes in the US energy policy to further deepen SinoLatin America energy cooperation.
