Energy Security and Middle‑East Frictions Feature in Xi‑Trump Meeting

Sajjanhar highlighted that the conversation will also touch on energy security and escalating tensions in West Asia. He warned that attacks on shipping lanes, pipelines and refineries could disrupt global oil supplies, pushing prices higher. The possibility of imposing a 100 percent tariff on Russian oil imports by the United States, or similar measures targeting countries such as India, China, Turkey and Hungary, could add pressure to the international oil market. Developing nations, which rely heavily on affordable energy, might feel the brunt of any supply shortfall.
