Trump and Xi appear intent on keeping deep differences over Iran war from overshadowing China summit

President Trump aims to downplay differences with Xi Jinping during the upcoming summit, focusing on broader issues beyond the Iran war. The U.S. is urging China to use its influence to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while China maintains a cautious approach and avoids direct involvement in the conflict. Recent U.S. sanctions targeting Chinese firms involved in Iran's oil trade have intensified the pressure.
