US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated that China will not be allowed to import oil from Iran. Speaking to reporters in Washington, D.C., he said that Chinese tankers carrying Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz would be blocked. Bessent emphasized that China could source oil from other suppliers but not from Iran.
He criticized China for being an unreliable global partner, noting that the country is simultaneously increasing its oil reserves while restricting exports of certain goods. Bessent mentioned that he had discussed these issues with Chinese officials. When asked whether the dispute might affect US President Donald Trump’s planned mid-May visit to Beijing, Bessent declined to comment, saying the visit should focus on stability and that communication between the two nations remains crucial.
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions over energy trade and sanctions enforcement, with Washington signaling a firm stance on restricting Iranian oil exports.
