U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded their second round of talks on Friday, Chinese media reports said.

Xi said the two sides had marked progress toward building a more constructive U.S.-China relationship, Xinhua reported, and had also agreed to strengthen communication and coordination on key issues.

Trump had earlier flagged some progress in talks with China, claiming in an interview on Fox News’ Hannity program that China had agreed to buy U.S. oil.

However, the two leaders did not provide details on just what agreements were signed during Trump’s three-day visit to China. Xi had on Thursday said Taiwan was a key point of focus in the ongoing talks, but it was unclear if any consensus was reached on the matter.

Trump’s Oil Deal Claim

Trump, in a pre-recorded interview aired on Thursday evening, said China had “agreed they want to buy oil from the United States… they’re going to go to Texas, they’re going to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana and to Alaska.”

Trump said that China needed to import oil, citing the country’s “insatiable appetite” for energy. The interview was recorded after Trump met China’s Xi in Beijing on Thursday.

China buys little oil from the United States, and is a major importer of Iranian oil — with U.S. government data showing the country imported about 1.4 million barrels per day of Iranian crude in 2025.

Shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, stemming from the U.S.-Israel war on Iran, stood to potentially disrupt oil flows to China. But reports since March showed some Chinese oil tankers had made it through Hormuz.

Global oil prices rose sharply since the onset of the Iran war, although Trump told Fox News that the increase was not as much as he had initially expected.

Xi Pushes for Iran Peace — and No Nukes

Trump said China’s Xi also sought an end to the Iran war, and that China did not want Tehran to have a nuclear weapon. He added that Xi had also agreed to not supply Iran with weapons.

Trump called for Iran to accept a peace deal, warning that Washington could easily carry out even more debilitating strikes against the country.

He warned that he was “not going to be much more patient” with Iran, and that the country should accept a deal. Trump had earlier said the ceasefire with Iran was on “life support.”

More Deals Touted

China’s foreign ministry said on Friday that Trump and Xi had achieved a “series of new consensus” during Thursday’s talks, but did not elaborate on what specific deals were reached.

Speaking on Fox News’ Hannity, Trump said China had also agreed to purchase 200 Boeing Co jets, and that he would push for the country opening up to payments major Visa Inc.
