President Donald Trump said Friday that he and Chinese President Xi Jinping feel “very similar on Iran” in wanting the war to end and prohibiting Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon as the two started their second day of meetings in their high-stakes summit.
“We did discuss Iran. We feel very similar in Iran. We want that to end. We don’t want them to have a nuclear weapon. We want the [Strait of Hormuz] opened. We’re closing it now. They closed it, and we closed it on top of them, but we want the straits open, and we want them to get it ended, because it’s a crazy thing,” Trump said at a photo opportunity before the two leaders had tea and a working lunch.

Current News
Trending is a news segment on television or radio that highlights current events of interest. These may be stories that have recently gained popularity or are currently affecting a large number of people, such as celebrity deaths, natural disasters, or wars and conflicts. This segment may also include a brief analysis and discussion of a topic. In the past, breaking news required a program interruption (known as a “Newsflash” or a “Special Report”) to update viewers, but now many major networks have special tickers that appear during regularly scheduled programs when an urgent event occurs, lessening the need for a cut-in.
