During Donald Trump's recent visit to Beijing, Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a stark warning regarding Taiwan, stating it could lead to 'clashes and even conflicts' with the United States. Xi emphasized that Taiwan is the most critical issue in the relationship between the two nations, as China seeks to reduce US support for the self-governing island, which it claims as its territory. Trump later claimed that Xi assured him China would not send weapons to Iran, despite reports suggesting otherwise. The two leaders discussed market access for US firms and fentanyl controls, although these topics were not mentioned in the Chinese summary of the meeting. Additionally, they agreed on the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open to ensure energy flow, with Xi indicating a willingness to purchase more oil from the US to reduce dependence on Iran. The backdrop of these discussions included Trump's previous military actions against Iran, which have complicated trade negotiations. Other news included a lawsuit against Trump over land for his presidential library in Miami, and the resignation of the US border patrol chief amid a series of exits from immigration officials. The Supreme Court also upheld access to the abortion pill mifepristone by mail.
