BEIJING (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump is in Beijing for a crucial series of meetings with Chinese leader Xi JinpingFew breakthroughs are expected on divisive issues such as the Iran war, trade, technology and Taiwan.

Trump says Xi offered to help broker peace with Iran

Trump said that Chinese leader Xi Jinping told him in meetings that his country “would like to be of help” in negotiating an end to the Iran war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to oil shipments.

“But he said, ‘I would love to be a help, if I can be of any help whatsoever,’” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “He’d like to see the Hormuz strait open. He said, ‘If I can be of any help whatsoever, I would like to help.’”

Before leaving for the state visit in Beijing, Trump said the U.S. did not need China’s assistance on resolving the conflict.
