"It's a strong statement," Trump told Fox News shortly after the state visit to China ended.
The war in Iran, which began with US and Israeli attacks on February 28, was a central part of the negotiations in Beijing. Trump claims Xi has offered to help end the conflict and that Xi agrees with Trump that the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for oil trade, must be opened.
It is well known that China buys a lot of oil from Iran, and there is also significant reporting that Tehran receives technological and intelligence assistance from Beijing.
