President Trump just keeps on winning even on different continents. His road show to Beijing has so far produced some pretty significant victories, at least according to announcements from his government and that of Chinese President Xi Jinping:
? WOW! Several HUNDRED Chinese youth and a military band just gave President Trump a GRAND WELCOME as he arrived in Beijing
47 is LOVING IT, stopping to watch ?
China’s VP, ambassador and foreign minister are there as well

China finds itself in a difficult position with Operation Epic Fury, which has impacted its access to Iranian oil that would typically be supplied to them. Additionally, China is wary of facing significant tariffs, so they recognize the need to put in extra effort to navigate the situation.
On Thursday, Trump held a meeting lasting over two hours with Xi, and it appears he achieved some notable successes during their discussion:
The white House says:
President Trump had a good meeting with President Xi of China. The two sides discussed ways to enhance economic cooperation between our two countries, including expanding market access for American businesses into China and increasing Chinese investment into our industries. Leaders from many of the United States’ largest companies joined a portion of the meeting.
The Presidents also highlighted the need to build on progress in ending the flow of fentanyl precursors into the United States, as well as increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural products.
The two sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to support the free flow of energy. President Xi also made clear China’s opposition to the militarization of the Strait and any effort to charge a toll for its use, and he expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China’s dependence on the Strait in the future. Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
That’s a big deal on economic exchanges as well as purchases of American agriculture, which is among the best in the world:
According to Fox News, Trump told host Sean Hannity that Xi committed to helping the U.S. with Iran and agreed to buy U.S. soybeans, oil and liquified natural gas and other energy. Additionally, Xi said China would purchase 200 737 Boeing jets.

Because — you guessed it — it’s closer and easier than the Strait of Hormuz.
The ChiComs are hedging on Iran.

The last part of the White House statement is highly significant, especially considering China’s close relationship with Iran. The statement criticizes Iran’s efforts to impose tolls and fire at ships. Furthermore, it emphasizes that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon, which is a major development.
Additionally, China is interested in purchasing more oil from us, which would help them avoid being restricted by issues in the Strait in the future. They just essentially threw Iran under a bus.
Keep on winning for America, Mr. President.
