U.S. President Donald Trump stated Tuesday that China can "now continue to buy oil from Iran," in an apparent shift in U.S. policy, which usually fights against the purchase of black gold from the Islamic Republic.
"China can now continue to buy oil from Iran. Hopefully, they'll also buy a lot of American oil," the head of state wrote on his Truth Social platform, from the plane taking him to the NATO summit in The Hague.
"I have the great honor of making that happen," he added, as the United States regularly imposes sanctions on buyers of Iranian oil in an effort to dry up Tehran's financial resources.
