WHITE HOUSE REVEALS DETAILS OF CRITICAL MEETING
The repercussions of the summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing continue. According to White House sources, the two leaders held extensive talks, particularly on the Iran crisis and the tension in the Strait of Hormuz.
In a statement following the meeting, Trump said Xi Jinping shared his view that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons. Trump also stated that the Chinese leader said they would not provide military aid to Iran.
"THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ MUST REMAIN OPEN"
According to Trump, one of the most critical topics of the meeting was the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for global energy trade. It was reported that Xi Jinping emphasized the need to keep the strait open for international maritime traffic.
In a report by The Wall Street Journal based on White House sources, it was stated that the two leaders agreed that Iran should not control the Strait of Hormuz nor demand tolls from passing ships. Trump said China offered to help in reopening the strait.
THE OIL CRISIS ARRIVES AS THE WORLD IS SHAKEN
Due to the weeks-long crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have risen above $100. Global energy markets are under significant pressure due to the military activity in the region following the tension between Iran and the US. Experts consider China's involvement in the Hormuz issue as a critical development because China is one of the largest buyers of Iranian oil, and the closure of the strait could directly affect the Chinese economy.
TAIWAN TENSION ALSO ON THE AGENDA
According to reports in the foreign press, the Taiwan issue was also discussed in the meeting. It was reported that Xi Jinping told Trump that the Taiwan issue is the "most sensitive red line" for China. According to a report by The Washington Post, Xi warned that wrong moves on Taiwan could lead to serious conflicts.
THE MEETING IS IN THE FOCUS OF GLOBAL MARKETS
The Trump-Xi summit is being closely monitored by global markets in terms of the Iran war, energy crisis, and the new era in US-China relations. Analysts assess that China taking a more active role in the Strait of Hormuz issue could change both energy markets and diplomatic pressure on Iran.
