CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) โ€” West Virginia exports more coal to China than any other state and some producers have expressed serious concerns over a potential trade war.

"They could have a dramatic impact. They could evolve to the point where even furloughs of mining operations are considered, " West Virginia Coal Association president Chris Hamilton said.
