Trump's Return May Tighten Iran Oil Sanctions, Challenge China Relations

Analysts predict Trump's presidency could enforce stricter sanctions on Iranian oil, affecting global markets and testing ties with China.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to re-impose a 'maximum pressure' campaign on Iran, potentially reducing its oil exports by up to 1 million barrels per day.
China, Iran's largest oil customer, may face increased costs and supply challenges due to stricter U.S. sanctions enforcement.
Trump's policies could boost global oil prices by limiting Iranian oil supply, but tariffs on China and increased domestic drilling might counteract this effect.
Tensions with China could rise as it may retaliate against U.S. sanctions by strengthening economic ties within the BRICS nations and reducing reliance on the dollar.
Trump's potential easing of sanctions on Russia's energy sector could further complicate the global oil market dynamics.
