Trump says he spoke with China’s Xi about lifting sanctions on Chinese companies that buy Iranian oil

President Trump discussed lifting sanctions on Chinese companies buying Iranian oil with China’s Xi during his visit to Beijing and will make a decision soon. The US recently sanctioned several Chinese oil refiners for Iranian oil purchases, and Trump stated a commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized the need for a ‘real’ 20-year commitment from Tehran regarding its nuclear program.
