President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement, saying China can continue buying Iranian oil despite longstanding U.S. sanctions. The statement came just hours after a cease-fire deal between Israel and Iran. Trump spoke on the subject earlier on Wednesday: “I’m not giving up. They’re in the oil business. I mean, I could stop it if I wanted — I could sell China the oil myself. I don’t want to do that. They’re going to need money to put that country back into shape. We want to see that happen.”
Iran’s defense minister arrived in China on Wednesday, marking his first trip since the United States and Israel struck several of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Bipartisan pushback is growing on Capitol Hill against China’s tactics of transnational repression on U.S. soil. Lawmakers are hearing testimony and sounding the alarm.

Concerns about artificial intelligence from China have raised national security issues. Lawmakers are seeking to ban federal agencies from using AI models developed in China.
Boosting defense against both Russia and China, the Pentagon recently tested a new radar system in Alaska. This system could play a key role in detecting missile threats from Asia.
