Trump, Xi agree Strait of Hormuz must stay open and Iran can’t have nukes: White House
The leaders also said China opposes militarizing the waterway and would not provide military equipment to Iran, officials said.
- President Donald Trump told Sean Hannity of Fox News that Chinese President Jinping offered to help broker a peace deal between Washington and Iran, potentially reopening the Strait near Hormuz.

- During the interview, Trump confirmed Jinping expressed willingness to mediate, stating, 'If I could be of any help whatsoever I would like to help,' while clarifying China would not provide military equipment to Iran.
- The President invited Jinping to visit the White House on September 24, signaling an effort to sustain high-level engagement between the two powers.
- In Beijing, the leaders emphasized cooperation, attempting to project warmer ties despite persistent bilateral tensions regarding Taiwan, trade, and technology.
