Donald Trump said the United States can deal with the Iran conflict without China’s support. Speaking before leaving for China, Trump said the US would “win it one way or the other.” The Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz are expected to be discussed during Trump’s talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The conflict has disrupted shipping through the important waterway, which carries a large part of the world’s oil supply. In Iran, officials and people are not worried about the Trump-Xi meeting. Reports from Tehran say Iran and China continue to have a strong and strategic partnership. Iran and China signed a 25-year cooperation agreement in 2020 covering economic, political and cultural ties.
