Trump says Xi pledged not to arm Iran but would keep buying its oil
US President Donald Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping told him Beijing would not provide military equipment to Iran, while also saying China wanted to continue buying Iranian oil.
“He said he’s not going to give military equipment. That’s a big statement,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
Trump said China was not “fighting a war” with the United States but added that Xi raised Beijing’s oil purchases from Iran.
“They buy a lot of their oil there and they’d like to keep doing that,” Trump said.
