        "summary": "The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi have agreed that no country or organisation should impose toll fees for passage through international waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, as announced by a US State Department spokesperson. This consensus comes amid frustrations over stalled negotiations to reopen the strait, with high domestic petrol prices in the US, prompting President Trump to seek President Xi's influence on Iran, China's largest crude oil buyer. The agreement underscores the need for a stable, respectful strategic relationship between Washington and Beijing, highlighting the strait\u2019s critical role in global energy trade.",
        "content": "<p>Tokyo (ANTARA) - United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio and\nChinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi have agreed that no country should\nimpose toll tariffs for crossing the Strait of Hormuz. US State\nDepartment spokesperson Tommy Pigott told Kyodo News Agency on Tuesday\n(12\/5) that the agreement was reached during a telephone conversation\nbetween Rubio and Wang on 30 April. \u201cBoth agreed that no country or\norganisation is permitted to impose toll fees for crossing international\nwaterways, such as the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d Pigott said. According to him,\nboth sides also agreed that Washington and Beijing need to build a\nconstructive and stable strategic relationship based on mutual respect\nand reciprocity. Trump is reportedly frustrated over the minimal\nprogress in talks to reopen the strait, while domestic petrol prices\nremain high. Therefore, Trump will ask Xi to \u201curge\u201d Iran to reach an\nagreement with the United States. China is Iran\u2019s largest buyer of crude\noil and serves as an important economic lifeline for Tehran. Rubio\naccompanied Trump\u2019s visit to Beijing along with US Secretary of Defence\nPete Hegseth. Trump is scheduled to meet Xi on Thursday (14\/5) and\nFriday (15\/5).<\/p>",
