I think he&#8217;s been relatively good, to be honest with you. Look at the blockade, there&#8217;s no problem. They get a lot of their oil from that area. We&#8217;ve had no problem and he&#8217;s been a friend of mine,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the White House as he prepared to leave for Beijing. <\/p>\n<p>China is reportedly the largest buyer of Iranian crude, accounting for 90 percent of it. of Iran&#8217;s total oil sales.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing has increasingly shown a willingness to openly challenge US sanctions on Iranian oil sales. Earlier this month, China instructed companies to ignore US sanctions against five Chinese refiners sanctioned for their alleged role in facilitating the Iranian oil trade.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by a reporter if Xi should intervene in Iran, Trump insisted that it was not necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think we need help with Iran.

Neither side reached an agreement to end the war.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, both sides in the conflict have exchanged formulas and counter-formulas to find a middle ground and resume the second round of direct talks to end the war, which has already disrupted global energy supplies and daily life across the region.<\/p>\n<p>We use cookies to improve the experience and display ads (Google AdSense).<br \/>\n          By clicking &#8220;Accept&#8221;, you agree to the use of cookies according to<br \/>\n          Privacy Policy<br \/>\n          and<br \/>\n          Cookies Policy.<br \/>\n          You can reject non-necessary cookies by clicking &#8220;Reject&#8221;.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump has announced that he will hold wide-ranging discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Iran during their two-day summit, Anadolu reports.
