The United States is prepared to completely replace Russian oil and gas supplies to China if Beijing decides to reduce its purchases of Russian energy resources. This was stated by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright in an interview with Bloomberg.

Can we cut Russian oil supplies in half and still have a relatively balanced oil market? We definitely can.

"Wright emphasized. According to him, the United States currently produces 50% more oil than Russia or Saudi Arabia, making the American energy industry the most powerful in the world.

The minister also noted that China is the largest importer of oil and gas, and the United States is the largest exporter, which opens up “enormous opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation.”

Today, following talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump confirmed that China has agreed to begin purchasing American energy. According to the White House chief, delegations from the two countries will meet soon to prepare an energy agreement.

The two sides also reached an agreement on trade issues. Washington will reduce tariffs on Chinese imports by 10% to 47%, while Beijing will lift restrictions on rare earth metal exports.

China doesn't need its light shale oil. I wonder what kind of oil it plans to use to buy ours if it's buying the world's needed oil or diluting its own with imported thick oil, down to a certain point. And that's thick oil from Canada and Venezuela. He fell out with Canada, and it seems they've stopped supplies, and there's a problem with Venezuela too – our special forces or some private military company have arrived there and brought something. Someone also immediately busted some CIA group who decided to frolic on someone else's turf. And the oil and gas reserves in shale are nowhere near what the Americans once indicated in their reports to increase the capitalization of oil assets – for 10 years at most. So now they're rushing to restore the entire spectrum of industry and crush all competitors in that time, otherwise collapse. But it's already clear that things aren't working out. The US has effectively lost to China, and there's no other way out except war. And even after a war with China, it's still unclear who will emerge victorious.

Well, "God help you." True, God won't help you cheat the Chinese. They'll cheat you themselves, without God's help...

China has all the oil it wants, a gas station at its disposal 24 hours a day, and the foreman there is a scoundrel, a coward, and a thief from an organized crime group nicknamed "Paper Tiger," whom Xi holds tightly by his cowardly Fabergé! So, this time, the trap is out of the question.

Eurasia Today:

According to Wang Wen, dean of the Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, the US administration has been forced to reconsider its strategy of maximum pressure on Beijing.
A breakthrough in negotiations: concrete results
The meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump lasted one hour and forty minutes and was conducted in a low-key format, which, according to analysts, underscored the seriousness of both sides' intentions.
Key agreements include a ten percentage point reduction in the so-called fentanyl tariff.
These duties were initially introduced by Washington under the pretext of combating the illegal trafficking of synthetic opioids coming from China.
Now both powers have agreed to strengthen cooperation on fentanyl control, defusing one of the most painful aspects of the bilateral conflict.
A major achievement was the resumption of large-scale supplies of American agricultural products to China.
China has pledged to return to purchasing soybeans, sorghum, and other agricultural products from the United States, a significant victory for American farmers who have been severely hit by the trade war.
Wang Wen estimates that as a result of the agreements reached, the average tariff on Chinese goods entering the US market will drop to approximately 40% next year.
This includes base tariffs of around 20% that were imposed during Trump's first term and continued under the Biden administration.
The parties also agreed to a one-year pause in mutual sanctions against the shipbuilding industry.
The United States has suspended export restrictions announced on September 29 that applied to subsidiaries of Chinese companies on the sanctions list.
In response, Beijing temporarily froze the export controls announced on October 9, which affected rare earth metals and other critical materials.
