President Donald Trump has embarked on a high‑stakes trip to China for talks with Xi Jinping, with the looming conflict with Tehran casting a heavy shadow over the agenda. Washington remains locked in a fragile ceasefire with Iran, but continued skirmishes in the Strait of Hormuz and accusations of Iranian defiance have heightened fears of escalation. Trump’s visit is expected to focus on rallying Beijing’s support for stabilizing oil markets and curbing Tehran’s regional maneuvers, while also addressing trade frictions. Analysts warn that the outcome of these talks could shape both the trajectory of the Middle East war and the balance of US–China relations in the months ahead.
