Donald Trump’s allies pin hopes on Xi Jinping to defuse Strait of Hormuz crisis - Financial Times
Overview
Allies of President Trump are publicly urging Xi Jinping to use China’s leverage with Iran to help defuse the Strait of Hormuz crisis and reopen shipping. The summit takes place amid an oil supply shock that has raised prices, worsened an energy crunch and created political risk for Republican midterm prospects. The appeal to Xi complements U.S. efforts to solicit naval support and follows talks in which both sides tried to prevent the Iran dispute from overwhelming broader U.S.-China discussions.
