Trump Downplays Rift With Xi Jinping Over Iran Conflict

President Trump has downplayed any major differences with President Xi Jinping over the war in Iran as he prepares for his visit to Beijing. He said Xi’s handling of the blockade and oil imports has posed no problem so far and added that they will have “a long talk” about the conflict. The United States recently imposed sanctions on Chinese firms accused of trading with Iran, including refineries vital to Tehran’s oil exports. While China remains Iran’s largest oil buyer, the US is maintaining a naval blockade to increase pressure on Iran’s leadership. Trump also expressed confidence that he could stop Iran’s nuclear enrichment efforts and pledged that the US would secure Tehran’s highly enriched uranium stocks, though he did not specify how this would be achieved.
