Following his comments on Nato, Donald Trump also spoke to the Financial Times about his upcoming summit in Beijing with China’s President Xi Jinping.
The president told the outlet that he expected China to assist in unblocking the Strait of Hormuz ahead of the meeting, and said that the nation receives “90% of its oil from the Straits”.
The meeting in Beijing is scheduled for the end of March, but Trump said that he would ideally like to see action from China before then as two weeks was a “long time”.
He added that the visit could be delayed, but did not give any further clarifying details.
For a more detailed analysis on the impact of the Strait’s closure on China, read this piece by BBC correspondent Laura Bicker.
