Trump says Xi agrees Iran must not obtain nuclear weapon US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed that Iran should not possess a nuclear weapon and stressed that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open. Trump’s comments came as Tehran confirmed that United States officials had signalled readiness to continue negotiations, while Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran remained open to any role China could play in a future settlement. The developments followed confirmation by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that its naval forces allowed Chinese vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday evening.
