Summary:
President Donald Trump confirmed reports of long gas lines in China amid concerns over the energy market caused by the war in Iran. He noted that Chinese refineries are the main buyers of Iranian crude oil, which is under sanctions due to Iran's alleged funding of terrorism. Trump also referenced his upcoming trip to China, describing the U.S.-China relationship as highly competitive but economically positive. The Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for one-fifth of the world’s energy supply, has seen recent attacks on commercial vessels linked to Iranian retaliation in the region.

Scripture: Proverbs 21:1 (NASB 1977)
"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD;
He turns it wherever He wishes."
Commentary:
When leaders speak about sanctions, oil chokepoints, and competitive diplomacy, it can feel like markets and nations are steering the future.
