🚨 BREAKING: The White House said Xi agreed the Strait of Hormuz must stay demilitarized and that China opposes any “toll” by Iran.
China’s own readout of the same meeting said something different.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry’s official summary of the Trump-Xi summit made no mention of Iran. None. No mention of the Strait of Hormuz. None.
China publicly said it “supports Iran in safeguarding its national sovereignty.”
And Chinese ships are already moving through the Strait, under Iranian permits.
A Chinese supertanker crossed Wednesday. Iran’s state media reports about 30 vessels have transited since.
The Trump administration’s blockade redirected 70 ships in the same window.
So which readout is real?
Two governments. One meeting. Two completely different stories.
The White House is telling Americans Xi is on our side. China is telling Iran the opposite. Both can’t be true.
Who is Trump lying to — us, or himself?
