We DON'T NEED China on Iran, expert argues #shorts

[00:00:00]Just you what do you make of what's been said particularly about the Strait of Hormuz, but does the US need China on Iran?

[00:00:11]Well, they can good to be with you. No, we don't need China on Iran. It would be useful to have China put pressure on Tehran and I have to tell you having been in some of these meetings and participated in participating in the readouts, I wouldn't put a whole lot of of weight on what a readout of one of these conversations says. I would wait and see what what the parties actually do. And so if Chairman Xi is serious and I think what he's most serious about is getting the crude he's already paid for out of the Gulf, not paying an additional toll for it, and then potentially finding a more reliable seller in the United States. That's fine with me. I certainly don't want China to become such a big customer that we're dependent on them, but if they want to take some of our our cargoes going forward, that's just fine and we're better we're better source for them than the Iranians are.

[00:01:04]Mhm.
