US President Donald Trump said China was “very happy” about the “permanent opening” of the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the move was being made for China and the world.
He also asserted that the situation would never happen again, in a post on Truth Social that also referenced developments in talks with Iran and China.
In the same post, Trump said China had agreed not to send weapons to Iran and claimed coordination with Chinese President Xi Jinping ahead of an upcoming visit, adding that leaders would “work together smartly” and that cooperation was preferable to conflict. The White House did not immediately verify the claims.
