BEIJING, May 15, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said that China voiced interest in buying US oil and soybeans, after he met counterpart Xi Jinping during a state visit to Beijing.

"They've agreed they want to buy oil from the United States," Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview broadcast late Thursday in the United States.

China, the key foreign customer of Iranian oil, bought small amounts of US oil before Trump imposed tariffs last year and has sharply slowed down purchases of US soybeans, turning instead to Brazil.
