00:00U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant says he's confident about his country's relations with China.
00:06I actually think we're going to be building on those gains in terms of the trade deficit dropping with China.
00:13Since last summer, there's been great stability in the relationship.
00:18And really, the keystone to the relationship is the strong respect that the two leaders have between each other.
00:26It comes just one day after Besant called China an unreliable partner, citing its hoarding of oil and limiting exports
00:33amid the Iran war.
00:34Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump says he asked Beijing in a letter not to supply weapons to Tehran after
00:40threatening to impose a 50% tariff.
00:43Trump says Beijing denied it was providing Iran with arms, but China hasn't confirmed this.
00:48Still, Trump signaled he's feeling upbeat about his visit to China next month, highlighting his relationship with Chinese President Xi
00:55Jinping.
