Trump Says Xi Jinping Has Been Very Respectful About US Blockade On Iranian Oil Exports — 'We Haven't Been Challenged By China'

President Donald Trump on Tuesday stated that his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, has been very respectful regarding the U.S. blockade on Iranian oil exports amid the ongoing war.

During a White House press conference on Tuesday, President Trump said the U.S. has proposed that China send its ships to the United States to meet its crude oil needs.

“He has been very nice about this. China gets about 60% of its oil from Hormuz, and I think he has been very respectful. We haven’t been challenged by China… no one challenges us,” he said.

Trump added that Xi would not challenge the U.S. because of him.

“I have a very good relationship with President Xi. I find him to be a tremendous guy, and we get along well. You see how we do a lot of business with China, we make a lot of money,” he said.
