Trump Says China Agrees to Buy U.S. Oil After Beijing Summit

U.S. President Donald Trump said May 14, 2026, that China agreed to buy U.S. oil, citing planned energy imports from Texas, Louisiana and Alaska as a key outcome of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Trump disclosed the agreement in a Fox News interview aired after his meeting with Xi. He said China has an “insatiable appetite” for energy and that the U.S. would become a major oil supplier, adding that Chinese ships would be directed to U.S. energy hubs. The two-day summit also covered market access, U.S. business operations in China and Chinese purchases of American goods. Taiwan remained a sensitive issue, with Beijing warning that mishandling it could put U.S.-China relations in an extremely dangerous position. Trump and Xi are scheduled to meet again on May 15, 2026, before the U.S. delegation returns to Washington.
