U.S. President Donald Trump said China has agreed to buy American oil, in a pre-recorded interview with Fox News that aired Thursday evening stateside, as the two nations push for concrete trade and business wins at their ongoing bilateral summit.

“They’ve agreed they want to buy oil from the United States, they’re going to go to Texas, we’re going to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana and to Alaska,” Trump said in the interview that was conducted after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday.

Trump and Xi are scheduled to meet Friday to close out a two-day summit that has featured pageantry as well as dealmaking including market access for U.S. businesses and purchases of American goods. Beijing also made a pointed warning that mishandling the Taiwan issue could push bilateral ties into a tailspin.

Trump’s visit marks the first time a sitting U.S. president has traveled to China in nearly nine years. The two leaders are expected to share tea and a working lunch before the U.S. officials depart for Washington.

Brewing a Better Half-Gallon Batch

Today I finally ran an experiment I’ve wanted to try for a long time. If you’re a professional barista—or you run a busy café—this may save you some time. Most coffee shops use 1–1.5 gallon batch brewers (Bunn, Curtis, Fetco, etc.). When I opened Short Sleeves Coffee, I intentionally avoided brewing full 1-gallon batches. I
