U.S. President Donald Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping told him during their meeting in Beijing that China will not provide military equipment to Iran, while continuing to purchase Iranian oil.

Axar.az reports that Trump said in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

“He said he’s not going to give them military equipment. That’s a big statement. He said that today, he said that strongly,” Trump stated.

Trump added that Xi also indicated Beijing wants to continue importing Iranian oil.

“At the same time, he said they buy a lot of their oil there, and they’d like to keep doing that,” Trump said.

The comments come as China remains Iran’s largest oil customer, with nearly 90% of Iranian crude exports flowing to China.
