Trump claims that China has agreed to buy oil from the U.S.
From the PEP Radio Newsroom, we have this news from HuffPost:
President Donald Trump claimed China had agreed to buy oil from the U.S. as part of bilateral talks that occurred with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
“One thing I think that we are going to make a deal on, they have agreed they want to buy oil from the United States,” Trump said in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity that aired Thursday evening. “They are going to go to Texas, we are going to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana and to Alaska and I think that was another thing that was agreed to. That's a big thing.”
Trump suggested that China could also purchase liquefied natural gas as well.
“That's the one thing, they really need energy. That's the one thing. They have an insatiable appetite for energy and we have unlimited energy,” he said.
“China has not imported any U.S. oil since May 2025 because of 20% tariffs imposed during the trade war and the removal of those duties would likely be a prerequisite to any large-scale resumption of purchases,” Reuters’s Trevor Hunnicutt and Sam Li reported.
That’s what we know for now. From the PEP Radio Newsroom, I’m David Moore.
