During a three-day summit in Washington, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed Iran's involvement in the ongoing war. The US ambassador to China, David Perdue, stated that Trump made it clear to Xi that China's support for Tehran was unacceptable. Despite the summit's emphasis on trading relationships, Perdue emphasized that any assistance China provided to Iran, be it direct or indirect, would be considered unacceptable.
The US Trade Representative, Jamie Greer, hinted at progress in trade negotiations, stating that details of the limited agreements would be released on Monday.
