Chinese strongman Xi Jinping said he “would love to be a help” in the conflict between the US and Iran, according to President Trump.
China gets the lion’s share of petroleum that flows through the critical chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz, which has since effectively been shut down due to the war.
“President Xi would like to see a deal made, he would, he would like to see a deal made. And he did offer. He said, ‘If I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help,’” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
“Anybody that buys that much oil has obviously got some kind of a relationship with him,” Trump added.

“He’d like to see the Hormuz Strait open. He said, ‘If I could be of any help whatsoever, I would like to help.’”
