U.S. President Donald Trump has said he has a "very similar" view with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the conflict in Iran and its implications for international security following a meeting in the Chinese capital.

The meeting, held in Zhongnani before an official lunch, focused on the situation in the Middle East, access to the Strait of Hormuz and the stability of energy trade.

Trump has said that both agree that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. He has also stressed the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to ensure hydrocarbon trafficking. The US president has said that Xi has been willing to cooperate in the management of the conflict.

According to the US President, talks with Xi have addressed the conflict in Iran and the state of the strait. Trump has insisted that the priority is to end the war and prevent nuclear proliferation in the region.
