U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet in Beijing and agree, according to a White House readout, that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to allow the free flow of energy. Multiple outlets report the discussion took place during the leaders’ summit on Thursday. The readout links the Strait issue to broader energy stability concerns and notes that Xi expressed opposition to any tolls on vessels crossing the strait. Separate parts of the readout cover other topics raised during the same meeting: the leaders discuss building on progress to curb the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals into the United States, and they also discuss increasing Chinese purchases of U.S. agricultural products. One outlet adds that Xi signals interest in buying more American energy to reduce China’s reliance on Middle East oil and natural gas routed through the chokepoint. Reporting based on the White House summary also says Taiwan was not mentioned in the readout.
