## Resource

China is the biggest buyer of oil and gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the White House is saying both President Trump and Chinese President Xi agreed the key waterway must remain open. The discussions also focused on trade and how to better it between the two nations, and will test whether diplomacy can translate into progress on the divisions that define the U.S.–China relationship. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Jack Burnham, senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ (FDD’s) China Program, who says with China's support of Iran, they won't be pressing Tehran into anything that makes them lose control of the country.
