Glad to see the warmth of the US Russia, Xi tells Putin while China defends Russian oil input

Chinese President Xi Jinping told Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday that he is glad to see the US and Russia speak, reports Bloomberg news agency. US President Donald Trump said he would be prepared to meet Putin, even if the Russian president had not yet agreed to sit down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Trump said his interest in the broker of a peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict: “I will do everything in my power to stop the murder.” In a telephone conversation, Xi Beijing’s position on Ukraine set out to Putin and described it as a set of complex issues without simple solutions, says Bloomberg’s report with reference to Chinese broadcaster CCTV. The development comes shortly after China has defended and legally defended Russian oil, and withstands threats of secondary rates by the US for any country dealing with Russia. “It is legal and legal for China to do normal economic, trade and energy cooperation with all countries around the world, including Russia,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday in a statement to Bloomberg News. “We will continue to take reasonable energy security measures in accordance with our national interests.” China’s import from Russia rose to $ 10.06 billion in July – the highest level since March. But in general, the import of Russia is still 7.7% lower compared to the same period in 2024, the report states with reference to the customs data. When asked about Trump’s remarks Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besent told Fox News that rates on China about oil purchases could be “at some point on the table.” The ties of the US China remained after the two parties agreed to set up the sky height rates as they tried to negotiate an agreement. Earlier this week, Trump said he was ‘very close’ to an agreement with China to extend trading resistance, which will expire on Tuesday.
