Instead of Middle Eastern.. China seeks increasing US oil imports

A White House official said that Chinese President Xi Jinping opposes imposing fees on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, and he is also interested in increasing his country's purchases of US oil to reduce his country's reliance on this waterway in the future. The official added that Xi made these remarks during his meeting with US President Donald Trump in Beijing today, Thursday. The official statement issued by China regarding the meeting did not include the energy file among the issues discussed by the two presidents, but it indicated that the talks covered the Middle East.
