Before the meeting, Trump said that he could also discuss the purchase of Russian oil with China. “China is drastically reducing purchases of Russian oil, India has almost completely banned it, and we have also imposed sanctions,” he said.
Trump said he will also talk about serious issues like protecting the interests of American farmers and fentanyl smuggling. "We're going to talk about fentanyl. It's killing a lot of people, and it comes from China," he said.
