US President Donald Trump says he discussed Iran and the Strait of Hormuz with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a meeting in Beijing. According to Trump, Xi pledged that China would not provide Iran with military equipment, framing it as a clear position. Trump also said Xi indicated China would like to help reopen or keep the Strait of Hormuz open, adding that Beijing is willing to offer assistance if possible. Trump’s comments are reported by multiple outlets citing his remarks on US television interviews after the summit. Several sources also note that Xi made a broader statement about being “ready to work” with Trump to open a new chapter in US-China relations, attributed to a statement released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Other reports describe Trump’s portrayal of the developments as significant to bilateral talks, while the underlying claims focus on two points: a reported commitment not to arm Iran and an offer of help related to maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz. The outlets differ mainly in framing and wording, but they align on the substance of Trump’s account of Xi’s reported pledges.
