President Donald Trump said he may discuss a decline in Chinese purchases of Russian oil with Xi Jinping following US sanctions on two major oil companies and expressed disappointment with Vladimir Putin over his conduct of the war in Ukraine.

Trump, speaking to reporters enroute to Asia for meetings with leaders including Xi, said he hopes his talks Thursday with the Chinese president would yield “a complete deal.”
