Trump is in Beijing for a high-stakes summit with Xi Jinping aimed at easing deep tensions between the United States and China. Trump is visiting China for the first time since 2017 during his previous term and received a lavish welcome from Chinese authorities. Trump said he expects a long discussion with Xi about the US-Israeli war involving Iran, noting that Iran sells most of its US-sanctioned oil to China. He also downplayed disagreements, saying China is not needed to help with Iran and that Xi has been relatively good on the topic. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the visit and said China is ready to expand cooperation and manage differences with the United States.
