Donald Trump and Xi Jinping reached an agreement on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear disarmament, signaling a joint position on energy security and international maritime order. This marks the first time both leaders have formally acknowledged the importance of the Strait of Hormuz reopening since Iran's blockade, representing a potential shift in US-China relations. China's willingness to exert influence over Iran further suggests a move towards improved relations between the two countries.
