U.S. Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton says China and Singapore are making progress in
reducing imports of Iranian oil as a deadline hits on sanctions to pressure Iran to prove its nuclear
program is peaceful.
Speaking in Latvia on Thursday — the deadline for a decision on sanctions — Clinton says China
and Singapore share the goal of keeping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. She says they
have cut back on purchases of Iranian oil but gave no indication the two countries will get exemptions.
Clinton has already exempted nearly all of the world's major importers of Iranian oil except China
and Singapore from the sanctions designed to choke the Iranian economy.
