After Trump's visit to China, he stated that he would consider lifting sanctions against China, a shift in stance that has drawn widespread attention.

According to foreign media reports, after concluding his visit to China on May 15, U.S. President Trump departed Beijing aboard Air Force One. While en route, he told accompanying journalists: "We discussed the issue of lifting sanctions imposed on Chinese companies purchasing Iranian oil, and I will make a decision in the coming days."

Trump's remarks simultaneously send a signal of easing tensions to China while reserving room for domestic political maneuvering. Previously, he had threatened China with 50% tariffs over alleged military aid to Iran and sanctions on Chinese firms; now, he speaks of lifting those very sanctions—his stance shifting like a rollercoaster. This pattern of creating empty promises has become all too familiar: commitments can be withdrawn at any time, decisions reversed instantly. For a leader who frequently reverses course, one must pay more attention to actions than words. The lifting of sanctions must be demonstrated through concrete actions—verbal goodwill is not enough to be trusted.
