The interview was recorded after Trump met China&#8217;s Xi in Beijing on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Major Shift in Energy Trade Flows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>China buys little oil from the United States, and is a major importer of Iranian oil \u2014 with U.S. government data showing the country imported about 1.4 million barrels per day of Iranian crude in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global oil prices have risen 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xi Pushes for Iran Peace \u2014 and No Nukes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump said China&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump called for Iran to accept a peace deal, warning that Washington could easily carry out even more debilitating strikes against the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned that he was &#8220;not going to be much more patient&#8221; with Iran, and that the country should accept a deal. Trump had earlier said the ceasefire with Iran was on &#8220;life support.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mixed Signals from Beijing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>China&#8217;s foreign ministry said on Friday that Trump and Xi had achieved a &#8220;series of new consensus&#8221; during Thursday&#8217;s talks, but did not elaborate on what specific deals were reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on Fox News&#8217; Hannity, Trump said China had also agreed to purchase 200 Boeing jets, and that he would push for the country opening up to payments major Visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Talks Friday, Taiwan in Focus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump and Xi are set to hold more talks on Friday, as the U.S. president closes out a three-day visit to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beijing signaled that Taiwan would be at the top of its agenda for the talks, and warned that any mishandling of the situation could even result in conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Energy deal: Trump says China has agreed to buy U.S. oil and energy after talks with Xi in Beijing.
