'Xi will give me a big, fat hug': Trump claims China won’t send weapons to Iran and Hormuz blockade

A major geopolitical claim from Donald Trump is raising global eyebrows. Trump says he has secured a breakthrough with Xi Jinping, claiming Beijing has agreed not to supply weapons to Iran amid escalating tensions in the region. The statement comes as the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global oil supply remains under severe strain, with shipping disrupted and tensions running high. Trump insists his push to keep the strait 'permanently open' will benefit not just the U.S., but China and the global economy.
