Trump-Xi White House Summit Resets U.S.-China Frame as Iran Offers Hormuz Deal

President Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a summit and state dinner attended by U.S. tech industry leaders, with CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reinstated by court order but denied access to Xi's arrival. Xi declared that China and the U.S. 'should be partners, not rivals' and urged both nations to return to the 'Islamabad MOU' framework on Iran-U.S. tensions. Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told a UNGA gathering that Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if Washington accepts Iran's proposed terms, conveying the offer through mediators. Trump expressed he was 'proud' of the relationship and indicated continued joint work. The dinner brought together technology sector executives alongside Xi, a detail that drew sharp media commentary.
