China Rejects US Request to Cut Iran Oil Imports

• PressTV Published on Aug 3, 2018
  Media reports say China has rejected a US demand to cut Iranian oil imports. US daily, Bloomberg, says it has received the news from two officials familiar with the issue. However, it says Beijing agreed not to increase purchases of Iranian crude. The move would deal a blow to US President Donald Trump’s efforts to isolate Iran after his withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal. Trump has ordered to impose the highest level of economic bans on the Islamic Republic. The sanctions include restrictions over purchases of crude oil from Iran and investing in its oil sector projects.
