Trump says he discussed Iran war with China's Xi

US President Donald Trump discussed the Iran war with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his state visit to Washington. According to Trump, he and Xi did talk about Iran. The US Ambassador to China also stated that Trump told Xi that any Chinese support for Iran would be "completely unacceptable".

The two leaders also discussed other issues, including artificial intelligence and technology transfer licensing, and agreed to continue discussions on these topics. Xi extended an invitation for Trump and his wife to visit China, and also proposed meeting again at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, in November, or at the G20 summit in Florida a month later.

The state visit was criticized for being heavy on pomp and light on substance, with no major breakthroughs on issues such as trade. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly asked Trump to press Xi to use Beijing's influence over Moscow to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
