Trump: U.S. To Feed China’s “Insatiable Appetite” For Oil, “We’re Going To Start Sending Chinese Ships To Texas”
President Donald Trump describes his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and the future of the U.S.-China relationship on “Hannity.”
SEAN HANNITY: Do you — do you think President Xi and China have the ability to influence the Iranians considering they are one of their biggest customers? (CROSSTALK) PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yes — look, he’s not coming in with guns. He’s not coming in with rifles. HANNITY: I’m not ask — TRUMP: — and not coming in shooting. HANNITY: Influence. TRUMP: You know, somebody said he’s been — he’s been very good. They get a lot of their oil, 40 percent of their oil from that location. So, what has happened — and one thing I think that we — we’re going to make a deal on, he’s — they’ve agreed they want to buy oil from the United States. They’re going to go to Texas. We’re going to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana and to Alaska. And I think that was another thing that was agreed to. That’s a big thing. It’s not much longer. HANNITY: What about liquefied natural gas? Gas, too? TRUMP: Yeah. Everything. Energy. HANNITY: Energy. TRUMP: That’s the one thing. They really need energy. That’s the one thing. They have an insatiable appetite for energy and we have unlimited energy. Do you know — we now under me, but we now produce more than — if you combine Saudi Arabia and before the war, if you took Saudi Arabia, Russia, put them together, we’re doing twice as much, oil and gas as they are. Think of that. It’s amazing.
