Trump and Xi urge opening of Hormuz, but safe passage still depends on nationality
- President Xi said his country would oppose any toll in the strait at a meeting of the two leaders in Beijing
- Chinese vessels allowed to transit Hormuz, Iranian state media says
- Iran’s foreign minister reiterates that SOH is open to all vessels, except for those from countries at war with Iran
As Presidents Trump and Xi agree on the importance of an open Strait of Hormuz and even to increase oil trade between the two nations, Tehran said it has explicitly allowed Chinese vessels to transit the chokepoint safely
