Trumps Surprising Announcement: China Can Keep Buying Iranian Oil, with Far-Reaching Implications for US Policy and Global Economy

On Truth Social, President Donald Trump made a surprising announcement that could have far-reaching implications for US policy towards Iran and the global economy. The President appeared to undermine years of US sanctions on Iran, giving China the green light to continue buying Iranian oil.

The move could undermine the central element of Washington's Iran policy under multiple administrations, which has sought to cut the regime's main source of revenue by making its top export off limits. However, Trump's decision could have significant consequences for the global oil market and the relationship between the US and its allies.

Bloomberg's Stuart Livingstone-Wallace reports on the latest developments and what they mean for the future of US policy towards Iran.
