U.S. President Donald Trump downplays public differences with China’s President Xi Jinping over Iran ahead of a high-stakes summit in Beijing. Both outlets say Trump has been urging China to use its influence over Iran to move toward a resolution aligned with U.S. demands. The reporting characterizes Trump’s efforts as unsuccessful so far, with China not taking action that would bring Iran to accept U.S. terms. One account links the discussion to the ongoing conflict in and around Iran that has lasted more than two months. It also notes Trump’s broader focus on preventing disruptions to regional shipping by pressing for reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is central to oil and trade routes. The articles present the lead-up to the summit as part of Trump’s attempt to tighten coordination with China on Iran-related issues, while framing the immediate tone as one of reduced emphasis on disagreements with Xi.
