Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing today. Blinken told reporters he raised concerns with Chinese officials over the country's support for Russia's military. Blinken, however, did not respond to a question over whether the U.S. would be willing to impose sanctions on China.        Gas prices are up slightly heading into the weekend.
