Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed satisfaction regarding the current situation at the Strait of Hormuz, while also discussing plans for an upcoming meeting between the two leaders.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that “President Xi is very happy that the Strait of Hormuz is open and/or rapidly opening.” The former president went on to describe their planned encounter, saying “Our meeting in China will be a special one and, potentially, Historic. I look forward to being with President Xi — Much will be accomplished!”
The announcement comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to affect global shipping routes, with the Strait of Hormuz serving as a critical waterway for international commerce and oil transport.
