President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing for a high-stakes summit focused on stabilizing global relations and addressing the conflict in Iran.
Trump told reporters that Xi pledged China will not provide military equipment to Tehran and agrees that Iran must never obtain nuclear weapons. Both leaders emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy chokepoint currently stalled by conflict and tolls, must be reopened for unrestricted trade. As Iran's largest oil buyer, Beijing holds significant economic leverage that the U.S. hopes will facilitate a permanent ceasefire.
Diplomatic teams are now working to turn these verbal commitments into a formal de-escalation plan.
