Donald Trump is visiting China to meet with Xi Jinping, and is expected to discuss strategic trade regarding the termination of the Iran War and easing of semiconductor sanctions. Trump stated he will not rely on China's role in the Iran War, but will seek to utilize China's influence to secure a cessation agreement for Iran's nuclear disarmament and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The visit is anticipated to intensify strategic competition between the US and China on trade and security issues.
