Trump also addressed the potential role of Chinese President Xi Jinping in facilitating negotiations with Iran, expressing confidence in the US’s ability to handle the situation independently. He maintained that Iran has suffered substantial military defeats and emphasized the need for Tehran to make the right decisions moving forward.
Amidst escalating tensions in West Asia impacting global energy markets, Trump suggested that the resolution of the conflict would lead to stability in energy markets and a positive economic outlook.
