Secretary of State Rubio stated that the U.S. will urge China to take a more active role in resolving the conflict in Iran ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. China faces economic strain due to Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and has an opportunity to support U.S. condemnation of Iran at the UN. Trump will cooperate with Xi while upholding U.S. demands, including non-nuclear Iran.
