Cosco VLCC slips through Hormuz as Trump lands in Beijing
- Cosco VLCC Yuan Hua Hu slips through Hormuz on the day Trump lands in China, suggesting Tehran waved it through as a gesture
- Ahead of the summit, the US State Department said Washington and Beijing ‘agreed that no country or organisation can be allowed to charge tolls’ through the strait
- At least five Cosco tankers remain stranded inside the Gulf, hinting that any signal from Iran is being delivered selectively
Tehran seems to have let another Cosco tanker pass hours before Trump and Xi sit down to talk Iran
