Beijing — US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for his highly anticipated summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The leaders will hold bilateral talks on Thursday, with the world worried about inflation, the Iran war, trade disruptions and artificial intelligence.
Before leaving, Trump said he did not need China’s help to end the war in Iran nor to ease Tehran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz.
“I don’t think we need any help with Iran. We’ll win it one way or the other, peacefully or otherwise,” he told reporters in Washington before departing for China.
But the war is expected to feature in talks between Trump and Xi over the next two days.
