Donald Trump, Xi Jinping meet in China
US-Iran war LIVE: US President Donald Trump is in China and is meeting his Chinese counterpart President Xi Jinping. The two are set to discuss tech, trade, and the ongoing Iran war. One of Trump’s key goals is to get China to join a nuclear arms agreement, and the Beijing trip could present an opportunity to negotiate on arms reduction.
In recent years, China has intensified efforts to expand its nuclear program – including flattening villages to construct buildings supporting nuclear weapons production facilities, a recent CNN investigation found. Traveling with Trump are top officials and more than a dozen business leaders, including Tim Cook and Elon Musk.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that he made a “covert” visit to the United Arab Emirates and met with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. However, the UAE has denied that the Israeli Prime Minister visited, or that it hosted a delegation from the Israeli military.
Key developments:
State of talks: US vice president JD Vance on Wednesday said that efforts to continue “peace talks” with Iran are still going on, despite a series of unsatisfying responses from Tehran in recent weeks. Vance said the negotiators stay put on their goal of not letting Iran have a nuclear weapon
War powers measures fail: The senate, for the seventh time this year, rejected a measure aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s war powers by requiring congressional approval for any future military action in Iran. The measure failed to advance, 49-50, CNN reported.
Iranians detained: Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi demanded the release of four Iranians detained by Kuwait on Tuesday. Kuwaiti state media described them as members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who were trying to infiltrate the country to “carry out hostile acts.”
