As part of high-level talks in Beijing, US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed key issues on the international agenda, with the situation in the Middle East at the center. According to the Chinese state news agency Xinhua, the leaders exchanged views on key regional issues, including the ongoing war in Ukraine.
One of the main issues of the summit, which remains in the spotlight of the international community, is whether Trump will be able to convince Xi Jinping to use his influence to end the Israeli-US conflict with Iran.
China is Iran’s key ally and has significant leverage over the official Tehran, as the main buyer of Iranian oil.
These discussions could be crucial for global security, as Washington expects Beijing to mediate and use its economic influence to avoid further regional escalation.
