China used to get oil from Venezuela. Trump ousted Maduro, started cooperation between the U.S. and Venezuela. Now China is going to buy oil from the U.S.

Excerpt from the article:

After his high-stakes bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the White House just released the major outcomes, and they are straight-up wins for America.

China is now committing to buy more American energy and oil, wants to become less reliant on the volatile Strait of Hormuz, and has officially agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.

That’s not spin. That’s the direct result of Trump’s maximum-pressure foreign policy back in action.

This is textbook Trump diplomacy: strength first, deals second. While previous administrations let China walk all over us, funded their rise, and looked the other way on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Trump is forcing real concessions that put American workers, farmers, and energy producers first.

Past admins have not been able to hold Iran to any deal or agreement on their side.

I just hope Trump knows that particular history, and most important of all, finish the job (as family of those soldiers killed requested) !!!!

From the article:

Peace through strength is working — again.

Just weeks after President Trump stepped in and ordered U.S. forces to protect cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz under “Project Freedom,” reports confirm the United States and Iran are closing in on a one-page memorandum to end the conflict in the Gulf.

Pakistani mediators — who have been directly involved in the talks — say the deal is nearly done. A source close to the negotiations told Reuters: “We will close this very soon. We are getting close.”

Iran rejected the deal, got hit, now they’re the ones asking. Leverage works

From the article:

Iran has formally sent a proposal to President Trump aimed at ending the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, but Trump has already made it clear the offer is unacceptable.

According to Reuters, the Iranian proposal would reopen shipping in the Strait and lift the blockade immediately, while pushing all serious talks about Iran’s nuclear program to a later date. The 14-point plan also demanded the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region, the release of frozen Iranian assets, payment of compensation, full lifting of sanctions, and an end to conflicts on all fronts including Lebanon.

President Trump rejected the framework outright.
