Trump also said that Xi assured him that China would not provide Iran with military equipment.During the meeting, Xi warned Trump that differences over Taiwan could bring the US and China into clashes or conflict. This remark comes after the US president authorized an $11 billion arms package for Taiwan in December, but has not moved forward with delivery. Trump also focused on trade and deals for Beijing to buy more agricultural products and passenger planes, setting up a board to address their differences and avoid a repeat of the trade war ignited last year after Trump’s tariff hikes.The US president described Xi as ‘warm’ but not prone to small talk.“He’s all business,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News that followed Thursday’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. “There’s no games.

He also claimed that the Chinese President has assured him that Beijing would not provide military equipment to Iran. The POTUS revealed this in his first interview following the high-stakes meeting with his Chinese counterpart.Add WION as a Preferred SourceChina to help open the Hormuz StraitFurthermore, he claimed Xi offered to help broker a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively blockaded since the conflict began on February 28, 2026. Notably, while the US President's claims are optimistic, Beijing has yet to release a matching statement confirming the "no military equipment" pledge.“President Xi would like to see a deal made. He said, 'If I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help.' Anybody that buys that much oil has obviously got some kind of relationship, but he'd like to see the Hormuz Strait open,” said Trump.Trending StoriesWhat is China’s celebrated Huaiyang cuisine?
