🚨 TRUMP, XI TALKS HAVE NOT OPENED THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ Two summits in five months produced shared language, but no open Strait of Hormuz. After the May meeting in Beijing, there was little sign the two sides agreed on how to end the war. Xi’s visit to Washington yielded no breakthrough on Iran, though Xi backed a return to the interim US-Iran agreement. Last week, Trump rejected a truce proposal from Iran and said he was considering resuming US bombing of Iran after the midterm. Source: South China Morning Post #China #Hormuz
