There was no mention of purchasing oil in any of the Chinese summaries of the meeting published by state media.
Trump and Xi also discussed building on progress in ending the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals into the US, as well as increasing Chinese purchases of US agricultural products, the statement said.
