President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed that the Strait of Hormuz "must remain open" and that Iran "can never have a nuclear weapon," according to a White House readout of their Thursday meeting in Beijing.
The readout said the leaders also discussed expanding US-China economic cooperation, increasing market access for American businesses, Chinese investment in US industries, fentanyl precursor flows, agricultural purchases, and energy security.
Xi reportedly opposed militarization of the Strait of Hormuz and expressed interest in buying more American oil to reduce China's dependence on the waterway.
