In an interview with Fox News, Trump indicated that Xi is optimistic about reaching a swift agreement, which may involve the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. While China remains the largest importer of Iranian oil and maintains a partnership with Tehran, it has refrained from mediating between the U.S. and Iran. Despite ongoing tensions, reports suggest that several Chinese vessels have navigated the strategically significant strait, which Iran continues to block. The discussions between Trump and Xi also highlighted the importance of U.S.-China relations, with Xi cautioning against potential strains due to U.S. actions regarding Taiwan.
